Our baby chickadees!


As we were putting up our retaining wall we noticed a black capped chickadee flying in and out of a bird house we had sitting next to our back steps, waiting to be put up when we had more time. Nick went over and found baby chickadees who had just hatched!

It was so much fun to watch the mommy and daddy chickadee fly back and forth between the yard and the bird house with warms and other treats for their babies.

When they left the nest one of the babies got stuck behind some discarded fencing. Me and Nick spent the evening trying to help him learn to fly! We succeeded though and he finally made it to the bushes where the rest of his family was!
