Chickadee-dee-dee!

Well, plowable snow!!! And the birds are checking out all of the feeders. One of my favorite birds is the tuxedo-suited chickadee. Small and spirited, they are delightful to watch. I came across a poem about chickadees, and thought I'd share:

He or She?

When you see a chickadee,

You can't tell if it's a he or she.

Maybe God designed that mystery

To baffle humans like you and me.

Even though they look the same

And both whistle 'phee-bee'.

There's no doubt in a chickadee's mind

Which is she and which is he.
