A Black-capped Chickadee! Nice.
I do love a bird that yells its own name
🎶 "Chicka-dee-dee-dee"! 🎶 😃
When you think about it, the idea of Pokémon saying their own name isn't actually that unrealistic: a lot of animals are named after the sound they make. Peewees, warblers, howler monkeys, kookaburras, hummingbirds, and I believe the ancient Egyptian word for "cat" is "mau".
They really are irl pokemon
Could be a Carolina Chickadee depending on location.
100%. We got one of those AI camera bird feeders, and it mixes them up even though it knows where it physically is. There is very little overlap in range, but I'm sure climate change is changing that also.
Are those camera bird feeders worth the money? Would you buy one again if yours broke?
Yes, but don't bother with the AI. My thought was I could filter out the field sparrows and house finches, but it didn't work out that way. The camera itself is 100% worth it though.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info! Learned something new today.
