Description

Chickadee Cleaning House, Vertical # 3 is an original fine art wildlife photograph by Sandra Huston.

I captured this photograph while walking along an old gravel pit road in Lisbon Falls, Maine in April on Easter weekend. I believe it was feeding its mate inside the dead poplar tree or helping to clean house. This vertical series would look especially beautiful displayed together as a 3 piece wildlife artwork. The finished wall would look like a triptych art display featuring the Maine Black Capped Chickadee in spring.

Fun Facts: The nest is excavated in the soft, partially rotted wood of a tree trunk or broken limb. These birds are also excellent candidates for man-made bird houses. But do not despair as they do fine without them because they can easily excavate nesting and roosting holes entirely on their own in any rotting tree. The nesting season is from April through June. The female will build the nest using moss and soft materials, taking about 4-5 days to complete. She will lay about six eggs that are white with speckles and she alone will incubate them for about 12 days. During the incubation time the male will feed her. After the young hatch, the female will brood the young for the first few days. During this time the male chickadee continues to bring food. After brooding, both the male and female share equally in feeding the young birds. The young will leave the nest in about 16 days. In about 10 days after fledgling the parent birds will no longer feed their offspring. Chickadees generally raised One to two broods each season.
