Is that true? And, don't most of the songbirds and small birds like Safflower?

The Black-Capped Chickadees were not the first to find it. [Though perhaps they came from further away.] That honor went to a very hungry mixed flock of American Goldfinches, House Finches, Purple Finches, Tufted Titmice, and White Breasted Nuthatches. Then, early in the spring my first two Chickadees arrived. They were most entertaining from the start. Their amazing ability to acrobatically glean food in a variety of locations was impressive, and the fee-bee calls that they gave to one another throughout the spring were hauntingly beautiful. As the spring progressed, they became experts at gleaning food off of the wood shingled roof on my home. It seemed like every time I looked out of any window in the house, a Chickadee was hovering, taking off or landing. The Chickadee couple found a tiny nesting cavity in a Japanese Lilac tree that overhangs my driveway. I couldn't believe that they could even fit into, let alone raise young, in such a small space. Yet, after about three weeks, new Chickadees emerged. Several weeks later, the parents appeared to nest again, though the resource book I consulted stated that they only have one brood per year. Now my yard is full of flitting little black and white birds. They thoroughly enjoy using the hose mister that I put out for the hummingbirds. They were the first to investigate and sample the peanut butter, cornmeal, and suet mixture that I put out for the woodpeckers. They are also proving to be expert at hover-gleaning. We have a bumper crop of cones on our white pines this year, and I see them way up there eating the seeds. To be sure, this is a little bird that can be somewhat overlooked. But once you do look and listen, you will find it very difficult to ever look away for long. I hung my first bird feeder [Brome Squirrel Buster Plus] at my home in Maine in February of 2011.
