Black-capped Chickadees

Have you ever been outside and heard a feathered friend calling chick-a-dee-dee-dee but just did not know which bird it was?  The answer is revealed in today's photos that feature Black-capped Chickadees.  These rather small birds are common in Iowa and are often spotted at backyard feeders or hanging on chunks of suet or, as shown in these images, on other prepared blocks of food.  During the past month while out taking pictures, I was delighted to see a variety of songbirds, including these chickadees, some nuthatches, a Brown Creeper, a Tufted Titmouse and a Red-bellied Woodpecker.  If you are a birdwatcher, I would enjoy hearing what species you have seen this winter.
