Welcome to the popular Baby Chickadees photojournal, where you'll follow the amazing day-by-day growth and development of seven baby chickadees from the parents' nest building to the day the nestlings fledged into the wide world.
These Carolina Chickadees nested in one of my bluebird boxes in the spring of 2004.
I have other galleries for a wide variety of birds -- please visit them too!
