Friendly forager


Yesterday I finally got a decent shot of one of the many Black-capped Chickadees that are present at the marsh these days. This one had just found a tasty morsel on the bark of a willow tree.

On October 4th, someone in Antigonish County, in the span of 1-1/2 hours, counted 814 chickadees, in waves of 30-40 at a time, flying in a westerly direction. What a spectacular sight that must have been!
