Summer Chickadee

 11x14 pastel  $145.00

This summer we had so many chickadees at the feeder, in competition with the squirrels, I might add, and the nuthatches.  The chickadees are friendly little birds, chicka-dee-dee-deeing away.  They are not afraid of anyone or anything, as far as I can see, and will eat out of your hand if you're very still and very quiet.

Here is the second Chickadee.  I used the same basic snow background, and sat that cute guy on a branch by the snow.  I think he looks quite regal. 

Chickadee Winter Song

11x14

It's almost the end of winter here in the Adirondacks and the chickadees are going crazy on our feeder.  They are the cutest, most vocal of birds - and they're not afraid of people.  My husband swears that, when a squirrel toppled the feeder over, and he couldn't find the knob that would hold the top in place, a chickadee "told" him where it was!  Actually, the chickadee was sitting on the flat hanger right next to the knob and kept cheeping, cheeping, at Bill, until Bill looked up and saw the knob.  That chickadee wanted to eat and needed that knob back on the feeder.......well, that's the story and we're sticking to it!

This is my third try at the chickadee.  I love the grosbeaks, too, but they just aren't as cute to me!

My Little Chickadee - Sold

 8x10

We've been feeding the birds near our front window and they love the sunflower seeds.  I've never seen so many small, delicate birds come to the feeder.  The cutest is the chickadee.  They will eat out of your hand, if you let them.  We also have juncos, blue jays,  nuthatches,  redpolls, and pine siskins.  And, that's only this time of year.   I love my camera - it's got a great Carl Zeiss lense and I was able to take some nice photos from my window to the feeder and trees.  This is a chickadee, hanging on to the tree next to the feeder.
