Larry Meade replied to Sharon Diane Bookhamer's discussion The Blog I Wrote About Chick a Dees"There's no problem with our Carolina Chickadees here in Virginia. I see plenty of them every time I do a bird walk and there has been no noticeable decline in their numbers in our Christmas Bird Counts."
"Just read the info on the Titmice. This perhaps is another reason our little Chick a dees aren`t as abundant as they were. We seem to be over-run with titmice this year. We`ve always had a few around but nothing like what I`ve noticed this year. The…"

Laura Erickson replied to Sharon Diane Bookhamer's discussion The Blog I Wrote About Chick a Dees"Corvids, especially crows, are extremely vulnerable to it, but dead crows are also very conspicuous. When chickadees are ill, they don't just drop dead in a lawn. They tend to go into their roosting cavity, and die within it, so we seldom if…"
Diane Garlick replied to Sharon Diane Bookhamer's discussion The Blog I Wrote About Chick a Dees"Thanks, Laura, I had no idea that these birds were West Nile victims. When it first swept thru here (SW Mich), corvids seemed to be most vulnerable."
Laura Erickson replied to Sharon Diane Bookhamer's discussion The Blog I Wrote About Chick a Dees"I'm not sure where you live. Black-capped Chickadees are very vulnerable to West Nile Virus, and because they roost in cavities in trees, in areas where there is a lot of storm damage to trees (ice storms, tornadoes, etc.), chickadees can…"

THOSE PRETTY LITTLE BIRDS
At the beginning of spring this year, I went out to fill my feeders, and waiting in one of our trees was a Black Capped Chick a dee. Such friendly little birds they are. It was so anxious to get to the food, it nearly landed on my head to finish waiting for the feeder to be hung back up. Problem is, that`s the only Chick a dee I`ve seen so far this year!! I live in Altoona, Pa. We are always seeing this little things everywhere. Right now they should really be abundant. They love to…
