(1) A rock had collected a little puddle of water, and a chickadee dropped down to bathe.(2) A chickadee clutched something white and pulled at it.(3) Likewise, the chestnut-backed chickadees hide in the branches of the scrub oak awaiting an opportunity for a quick breakfast.(4) Aside from pigeons, chickadees , seagulls, and the occasional bluejay, we city-dwellers don't usually get to see a variety of bird species.(5) We cannot recall ever having such large families of cardinals, downy and hairy woodpeckers, English sparrows, blue jays, titmice and chickadees .(6) There's a small hole in the wall and he watched the chickadees go in with nesting material.(7) Black oil sunflower seeds are relished by chickadees , evening grosbeaks, cardinals and finches, and are less attractive to non-native sparrows and starlings.(8) Use suet or specialty suet cakes with added berries or peanuts to attract woodpeckers, chickadees , titmice, Carolina wrens and wintering warblers.(9) I thought this was smart since that would save energy, but I'm sure there is some predator defense that works since most chickadees grab a seed and eat it elsewhere.(10) There seems to be less of a variety of species now, but the cute chickadees still come by, picking their way through the seeds to get to their favorite sunflower seeds.(11) In Massachusetts winter residents include chickadees , nuthatches, woodpeckers, titmice, cardinals, and mockingbirds.(12) If you have an old, dead tree in your garden, woodpeckers, nuthatches, and chickadees may seek out your yard to look for food and build their houses.(13) As we had learned from those first brave chickadees , the cardinal, the robin family, and now the sparrow, communion with another life can change your perspective on the world.(14) I'm standing at the window considering all this and noting how the chickadees outside seem more cheering than a while ago, when I remember I need to put more wood on the fire.(15) House sparrows, black-capped chickadees , and blue grouse dine on mistletoe berries, while porcupines devour whatever plant parts they can reach.(16) Intended for the smallest of birds - the chickadees and finches - we assumed the swing factor would be enough to deter larger unwanted guests.
