These birds certainly have a big fan in Alex Washoe, a freelance writer and bookseller in Seattle, WA. All through the cold, gray, wet Seattle winter, the chickadees were daily visitors at my feeders, often perching on the rails of my deck, hanging out in the cherry tree. What happened to my chickadees?
