BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

A CHEEKY good morning" in true
chickadee style is to be heard at
crack Of dawn these days; at least
those attuned to the calls Of their
bird friends hear the greeting. The
chubby little winter guest is unmis-
taxable. His black cap, worn well
over the eyes. the black bib tucked
close to the chin, the gray coat, white
vest and trousers, all identity this
charming bird to you. Then his
thoughtfulness-he announces his
own name with . delightful clearness
that makes you wish other birds
could do the same.
Chickadees have cousins that re-
semble them closely, and as all these
birds have wide range, often over
tapping, you will not be confused
II you remember that the Carolina
cousin Is bit smaller and does not
wear the conspicuous white margin
on the wings, while the mountain
cousin sports q white line over each
eye.

general appearance is sumcient.

have their serious moments, and few
parents in the bird world are 80

or sleet, do not disturb the calm
trust Of these birds. Under their

on In the late autumn when food was
especially abundant. That Is q re-

Sixty-eight per cent Of the diet
OF chickadees is animal matter. That
clearly indicates the chickadees are
insect consumers, which is TO our
advantage, don't forget that. They
do not mind standing on their heads,
II 1t means getting a fine juicy
breakfast or other meal of eggs, and
that Is why you see them so in
dustrially inspecting every inch of a
trees bark. Sometimes Inspector
Chickadee discovers chrysalids or
larvae, number by the cold, tucked
under the leeway of thick bark.
Weed seeds vary the diet. Also
thoughtful friends provide a delect-
able feast Of food dear to the heart
Of chickadees and their chums, the
nuthatches, juncos and kinglets.
