Hungry chickadee

February 17, 2014 by Mike Powell

There may not have been a lot of seeds in the dried-out marsh plants, but this little chickadee, which I am pretty sure is a Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis), seemed determined to get every last one.

I don’t know how they get much nutrition out of those dried up seeds, but they must.

Is there any other kind?

  Hmm….maybe not, though perhaps they are temporarily satisfied after a good meal, though not for long, more or less like a human teenage male.
