Thanks everyone,

They’re called a Black-capped chickadee.

Check out this video#.

They are real tame, they’ll land, & eat from your hand.

Hi Dick

Never realized they would chip out a nest like that. I enjoy feeding birds and the chickadees are just one of the many birds we feed. Glad your bear could serve another purpose. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

Hi Tom

That was a new one for me too.

They sounded like a little Woodpecker, but not as fast.

The wood that’s left in the bear is kind of soft.

You can tell that, because his paw broke off.

He turned out to be a lefty. <(:O)#

Beautiful little video Dick. They are cute little birdees. It’s fun when you are out deer hunting and they flit around you trying to get you to move. I’ve had them land right beside my head and just raise a rukus like they knew I was not supposed to be there. m
