C is for Chickadee!

A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized
round head, tiny body, and curiosity about everything, including humans.
The Black-capped chickadee’s black cap and bib; white cheeks; gray back, wings, and
tail; and whitish underside with buffy sides are distinctive. Its habit
of investigating people and everything else in its home territory, and
quickness to discover
bird feeders, make it one of the
first birds most
people learn.

ReplyDeleteBlue tits and great tits are often mistranslated into English as chickadees here in Hungary... I was so confused for a while :D
