Hi from Minnesota. I really like this site and hope to be on a lot when I'm not out photographing birds and other wild life. You can call me DJ or if you are mad at me you can call me Daniel Joseph like my mom often did when I was growing up

Hi DJ! On behalf of the entire staff here at BirdForum.net, a very warm welcome to you.

LOL, my call name when I was in trouble was Kathryn Carol.

So, what kind of setup do you use while out photographing the birds?

I can't find any chickadees!

Can you tell me if the British have another word for "Chickadee"? I can't find any when I search.

Hi Jeepee,

Welcome to BirdForum!

We call them Tits over here - the species found in Britain are:
Blue Tit
Great Tit
Coal Tit
Willow Tit
Marsh Tit
Crested Tit

The Willow Tit and Marsh Tit look very similar to your Black-capped Chickadee & Carolina Chickadee

And also Long-tailed Tit (not a true tit, closely related to the Bushtit out in the western US)

Thank you for your information about Chickadees being Tits. It was very helpful

Hello from NH

A quick Hello from New Hampshire where it's pouring rain out. Better than a hurricane though! No birding here today.

Hi! to you both!
I just love the chickadee! Black capped Chickadee seen in New Brunswick..the leader of the pack. Find a chickadee and there were warblers a plenty!
