I think these are probably the most recognizable of all birds. It seems everyone can spot and knows the chickadee. Maybe it's their distinctive call, unique looks or the fact that there was a kick-ass kids magazine of the same name in the 80s (anyone remember that one?). Over the bird count, we saw 6 different chickadees flitting around the yard. It was hard to count them because they move so fast and come in and out so quickly. Britt spotted one as the first bird of the day for Saturday's bird count at about 6:30 in the morning (yes, she was up that early). They are at the feeders first thing in the morning and usually last at night. Very cute and very cheery little birds.

Actually the magazine is still around. My daughter gets the lower one Chirp right now, but she's now old enough to move onto Chickadee. They are still pretty cool!!
