Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
We had our first snow last nightand the birdfeeder was busy from before sun-up today, non-stop...titmice, nuthatches, cardinals, even a woodpecker, but the chickadees dominate by sheer numbers. Sometimes they'll stay on the feeder even when I'm walking by on my way to the barns and pass only inches away.

My favourite is the chickadee - they're not easy to capture in a photo.
