Parus carolinensis - This Carolina chickadee, carrying food in her beak, has just return to her makeshift nest about 8 or 9 inches into the hollow fence post that she's perched on. Inside the pipe, 4 hungry chirping chickadee chicks wait for their mother to fly into the pipe and feed them. One year before these photos were taken, another Carolina chickadee had made her nest in one of the other hollow posts on the same fence. Perhaps this mother is one of the 5 chicks that were raised in the same fence a year before.
Parus carolinensis - This is the same chickadee as in the above photo.
