Mine would have to be the Black-capped Chickadee for sure
Yep, they are mine too...,.I hate the Robins which are my state bird, they poop everywhere and they have an awful squawk as youngsters. In fact the damn things keep begging their parents for food long after all the little birds have grown up........I think they're democrats.
I'd like to see the chickadees replace the robin as our state bird since they stay here the year around while most of the robins head south.......
Once I discovered I had a chickadee in the area, I focused my bird feeding on him. Turns out he had a partner and now there are four of them coming to my feeder........
I've made a couple bird houses for them hoping they will use them but haven't been successful this year.........
They're an amazingly hardy bird, and , yes, they are residents in the northern tier of the Lower 48. The robin often does migrate south.
I'm with you: If I had to pick a state bird between the robin and the black-capped chickadee, it would be chickadee all the way.
But I'm not an anti-robinist!
Snort!
LOL regarding the robins and democrats!! HA. I find robins to be clumsy and awkward too. I have to admit that I love seeing them in the winter and eating the neighbors crab apple tree though because they are so rare this far up in the middle of January.
So glad to hear you are building houses for the Black-capped Chickadee’s. They are such friendly little birds and so tame. In the winter, they will sit right on top of the perch where I feed them and wait for me to fill up the bird feeder. They are so close I could pet them if I wanted to but don’t as I know they just want to eat to stay alive so I just enjoy them from my window
