We have some overlap in the Smoky Mountains at higher elevations where Black-capped chickadees are also present and some hybrids. But down here in the valley, we only have Carolina Chickadees.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-39021205315752370582011-11-21T17:44:53.724-05:002011-11-21T17:44:53.724-05:00Hoping things stay calm for me so that I can get b...Hoping things stay calm for me so that I can get by your site more regularly. I'm spending more time in SE Pa and NJ where Carolina Chickadees take over from the Black-capped that I see in Vt. But there is overlap, and Black-caps do move south somewhat during winter. Your chickadees at the feeder appear to be Carolina's. Is that right?Chris Petrakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637163831402534158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-24160400191639000372011-11-05T20:19:09.250-04:002011-11-05T20:19:09.250-04:00Thank you, Gillian.

They are a real treat, especially because they allow me to see them so close.<br /><br />Hey, Jean. Thank you! The nuthatch moves up and down trunks and limbs, often upside down, and very diligently hides seeds under the bark! What a treat to see flying squirrels. That would be a first for me.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-89616285753711356572011-11-05T20:15:31.914-04:002011-11-05T20:15:31.914-04:00Thank you, Beth.

The arrival of all the wintering birds is a blast. I've been enjoying a singing mockingbird lately, though he's not a migrant, just more vocal lately, and today a yellow-rumped warbler and a female bluebird visited the water at the same time!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11301484477954719161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2010921422659089253.post-36578652763947926742011-11-05T19:35:20.521-04:002011-11-05T19:35:20.521-04:00Aren't the nuthatches the ones that go up and ...Aren't the nuthatches the ones that go up and down the tree clinging to the bark? No wonder they do so well! You have chipmunks!As far as I know we don't have those. I did get to see 2 tiny flying squirrels last fall very close to my screened porch clinging onto a tree. That was a thrill since they are very difficult to see. I have wondered if they have been there this year gathering the acorns that fall. My herd of squirrels don't bother the holly berries.No idea why. Love your pictures...and that gorgeous tree. Wish I could paint and draw like you.
