Welcome to my new page created just today, 4-22-23. I had to put myself down as a category.....so Nature Preserve was as close as I could get. I love Nature and try to Preserve...so good enough! I created this non-commercial personal page to have a little more separation between regular posts and my nature appreciation posts but will still post the same many times on my personal profile. Plus most things I post are happening right outside my window or in the proximity of my window on our rural property in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Hope you enjoy this new page. - Diana Firey
My Little (Carolina) Chickadee(s) periodic Update - For Those Interested and who are Keeping Up: The other day, my brother-in-law reminded me of an old movie star, W.C. Fields' famous expression "My little Chickadee". I had forgotten about that until he mentioned it. There's even a 1940 movie by the title.
But anyway, there are now two eggs, the second probably hatched before sunrise like the first the day before. The clutch size of this bird are 3-10 so there may be a few more before she's done. The mama was on her nest thru the night and just within the past half hour, i took video of video of her making these sounds I'd never had heard before. So I always get online and research anything new. I think she's already what some articles are calling - singing to those eggs. Nesting hens do the same trying to imprint themselves often in their unhatched babies. She will need to sit on those eggs more than usual in this cooler weather. There are other babies I hear thru the camera that are located nearby high inside an eave of our house plus the baaaa-ing of our nearby goats come thru loud and clear thru the camera at feeding time. Before you know it there will be the loud sound of baby birds added as the eggs hatch one by one. The things of God's creation truly amaze me! West of Sand Springs.
