We went for a walk at Carburn Park to look for Chickadees. There are lots of these inquisitive little birds in the park and they are always happy to stop in to say hello when we go for a visit. They are also very used to people bringing bird seed for them, and they will quickly hop onto your hand if you hold it up for them to perch on. Of course they will also disappear just as quickly if they discover that you didn’t bring any treats for them!

We went for a walk at Weaselhead Provincial Park today and found several groups of very friendly Chickadees. These inquisitive birds are always curious and quick to make an appearance when walkers pass by. They are used to getting handouts from park visitors and as a result they are easily enticed to land on an outstretched hand. One of them even briefly landed on my camera before it realized there was no food there…
