Chickadee hole ((Ridge Hill)


Chickadee hole ((Ridge Hill), originally uploaded by oehlkers.

A rainy day walk through the northern trails of Ridge Hill. Spent most of the time on the "Horticulture" trails (little black signs labeling sassafras and white oak and chestnut). Wanted to walk the Swamp Trail but the bridge is currently out. The chickadees are beginning to nest. Right along the beginning of the swamp trail, I watched a couple as they dug into a slender tree stump. [Audio: faint flutter of chickadee wings]

[UPDATE: I was able to get some video footage of the ongoing project]
