Tuffted Titmouse
House Wren
Blue Bird
Tree Swallow
A common swallow of marshes and open fields, the Tree Swallow is a ready inhabitant of nest boxes. Thier nests are mosty neat and organised. They feed on small bugs and they uses many feathers from other birds in its nest. The feathers help keep the nestlings warm so they can grow faster. They help keep levels of ectoparasites, like mites, low too
Chickadee
This is a chickadee:).
It is a very interesting bird. It is named Chikadee because of its call that goes,"Chika-dee-dee-dee!".Chikadees are very small birds. In this picture it looks a little big...but it is really very small.
This Chikadee is called the Black-capped Chikadee because of the black marks on its head.=P
