Chickadee
The chickadee in the apple tree
talks all the time very gently.
He makes me sleepy.
I rock away to the sea-lights.
far off I hear him talking
the way smooth bright pebbles
drop into water . . .
Chick-a-dee-dee-dee . .

Cute litte fellow! It won't be long before the autumn migrations begin.
I love the chickadees! I live on Chickadee too... the only reason I moved here... well, sorta. :c)
I think chickadees enjoy being photographed!
Oh, so cute - They are just the happiest little things! I had three on the feeders together yesterday - so much fun to watch.
You managed to get the twinkle in his eye. Nice shot.
I'm a new blogger just passing by. I'm from MI to. I just love your blog and your photos are beautiful.
Cute! Very good capture!
