Good day to all my fellow friends of the #featheredfriends community.
Our winter birds are being well fed here on our #homestead. The cardinals, blue jays, and mourning doves all seem to be doing well, even with the cold nights here in Upstate New York.
The black-capped chickadee seem to be thriving, they whizz in and out of the feeders, perch on the stair rails and flag poles and eye up the feast laid before them. They are pleasant little birdies, always willing to share and never aggressive if a neighbor drops by to say hello and share the meal.
When I watch them through my kitchen window, I notice at times they will just sit there and contemplate which seed is next, Humm, I hear them saying, I am pretty full already, but those lovely sunflower seeds look yummy! Maybe just one more, I'll lose a few ounces in the springtime, nothing much to do here in the winter, so I may as well enjoy the feed.
Look I am not that fat I can still do my balancing act.
I love showing off for my girlfriend, but sometimes she ignores me to stuff her face, women.
Black-capped chickadees are small birds, with black foreheads and bibs with white cheeks. These birds can reduce their body temperature by as much as 12 degrees Celcius from the normal of 42C to conserve energy during the cold winter months.
These cute little birds were the first ones to stop in for breakfast in the early morning of 2023!
Thank you @melinda010100, our sponsor, and @barbara-orenya the art coordinator. @nelinoeva, a big shout out to you for all your hard work in keeping this contest going, always fun.
Much love and peace to all for a great 2023!
I'd never come across the temp thing. I did learn that if you see a chickadee with a bent tail after a cold night, it had found a very small hole to go into and hence, bent tail...
Next year I must figure out a new bird feeding place.
Hello my friend, I think chickadee s are so cute. I will have to keep an eye out for the bent tail 😁
Such a lovely little birdie you have for your entry. The chickadees are so lucky to have first breakfast and to be first to enter the contest. 😀
You said it, my chickadees are loved on the farm. I love watching them
They are such happy little birds, aren't they? You got some great pictures.
Thanks dear friend.
I hope you are doing well. Chickadees are just adorable
Happy New Year! 🎉⏳🥂⌛🎉
Excellent photographs of the cute first bird of 2023! @farm-mom📸
Hi there @ninahaskin, happy New Year!
Hope you and the family have a wonderful 2023.
Staggering how the small little birds manage to get through winters, feeders are a must to assist our little friends, after all we enjoy their appearance throughout the year.
Lovely photography with some feeders scattered around the garden.

Hi Joan, my life has been out of control, as you know my little sis is dying, it’s so heartbreaking to manage both physically and emotionally.
I could write a book on her life that most people would not believe.
She never had a chance in life to thrive, not physically but emotionally .
But I will do what my mom asked me as she was dying
Take care of Dorothy
Sorry Joan for the rant, chatting with you always makes me smile 😀
