Lois D says:Thanks for the kind reviews; all of you ‘chickies’ are so uplifting.
These birds remind me of mini-roadrunners with their spikey ‘crown’ feathers. They have a ‘big little bird’ attitude to boot. Always scolding somebody who dares to traverse his territory – which just happens to be everywhere and anywhere the little “king” happens to be
We have a nesting pair along the brook on our property and the male defends “his” waterway with gusto
