Bed & Breakfast in Estes Park

Mountain Chickadees are such busy little birds they must consume their weight in food each day to fuel their furnace. They eat spiders and their eggs, insects and seed. Chickadees nest in tree holes, often taking over an abandoned woodpecker hole, which they line with moss, fur, feathers or shredded bark to make a soft nest. They whistle a high, clear song easily heard in the mountain forest–fee-bee–with the first note higher than the second. (Gray, Mary T., Watchable Birds of the Rocky Mountains). Mountain Chickadee can be heard singing after the sun has gone down.
