Zag Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 So I was talking with my dad tonight and we were kind of reflecting on the season, sighting, coyotes and birds. My dads almost 70 and he spent a good amount of time on stand during gun season and he mentioned how he didn't see or hear any chickadees, heck now that he mentioned it I don't recall hearing them either. So he asked me to ask you if you noticed or didn't notice them this yr either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gencountyzeek Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 It was almost like clock work in my woods, from bow to early gun. Around 9am they always came through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yes , had them around a few times. Other day one landed on shooting rail. Early archery I swatted one out of the air from stand. I heard something real close to my head and instinctively swung my hand like a giant bug was about to get me lol. Chickadees almost always have a nuthatch with them too. It’s sorta odd as nuthatches colorings are extremely similar Side note : nuthatches and brown creepers are only birds I know of that can walk headfirst down trees 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are, I made him like 20 chickadee bird houses for Xmas a couple yrs ago. We hung them all around the woods near tree stands. Great idea but they've been nothing but mouse houses.

jmark Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I usually hang out in midtown Manhattan at lunch time if I want to see chickadees. Lots of 'em there. Better on summer days (they wear less). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moho81 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Not as many as other years now that I think about it. Just the usual woodpeckers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
