Black-Capped Chickadees
Natalie Dugger
They flit through the trees
They show off their wings,
They’re so wild and free
The most pretty little things.
They’re a creamy color with some gray
And a tiny little black cap,
They can quickly fly away
Grab a seed and go “Tap Tap!”
They call cheerfully
“Chicka-dee-dee-dee-dee!”
In the spring they mate and love
In the summer they twitter
In the fall they skitter
In the winter they puff up.
They’re bright little eyes
Are round and full of hope,
These birds are always full of light
And in any weather they can cope.
One could just fit in my hand
I wish I had a pet one of these,
For they are one of the cutest birds around
Black-Capped Chickadees!
