A Black-Capped Chickadee flutters while taking a morsel in a Cedar tree. The winter light is so soft it enables us to see the fabulous subtle grey palette of our subject’s wings. [Forgive me I’ve posted this one previously on BlueSky but it does capture such an intriguing glance at an unusual display of pretty plumage I couldn’t resist putting it up again for today’s “Bird Of The Day” - “Feathers”.]

The Chickadee twirls her skirts.

The Chickadee has been in and out of the birdbox. I also saw a cow bird flew in. That is not a good sign.

A tiny black-capped chickadee didn’t strike the windshield, the wind hurled it there. It fell, fragile. I wrapped it in hope, but it didn’t survive the drive. I laid it to rest in the Russian sage garden once Houdini and arrived at Wolf Creek. 😢 #Chickadee #Nature #Wildlife #Oklahoma #SmallStories

The black-capped chickadee is the provincial bird of #newbrunswick

tiny bird of cheer
weather does not trouble you
you show your lovely cap
in snow, in rain, in sun-
through every shifting sky
a true gift of nature

Two Carolina Chickadees cling to the side of a tree trunk. They are close together, facing each other. The parent has food in its mouth. The smaller bird has just fledged the nest and landed on the tree trunk. The tree bark is rough and deeply textured. Behind them is a blur of green leaves.

From @robcrank68.bsky.social‬ today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #AdulsWithChicks, and capture of an Adult with its young, the Alt Theme is #Yellow, and bird with Yellow in its plumage.
