The Black-Capped Chickadee

This is the bird that I was talking about earlier. This little guy. Thanks to Anonymous for setting me straight.

I didn't know it was the same bird that does the little "chickadee-dee-dee-dee-dee" call. I learned a while back from Johnny Memphis on WRSI that the more "dees" in THAT call, the more danger the bird feels it is in.

But the song that I was referring to as the 70's Springtime Bird Song is sometimes described as "phee-bee". It sounds like this: Listen

That's the one, right Tony? Chickadee...isn't that the state bird? yes it is. I am so sure that I was taught that in the third grade that I am not even going to look it up. State bird...what does that even mean?

Thanks to this guy, for putting up a website with the picture and the audio file of this bird. He's got a nice page with a lot of bird information right here.

And look, Tony, his name is Tony, too. Tony, Tony, Tony.

Ok, now try to remember, "Black-Capped Chickadee".
