Chickadees live in a faster time dimension than we do, says my friend Dennis Robinson who has developed a close relationship with the birds around his home in the Annapolis Valley. <\/p>\n

They are acutely aware of their surroundings, and communicate what is going on with each other, with other birds, and – because he listens – with him. <\/p>\n

An intruder to their space is news, whether it is a new bird<\/a> or a human. <\/p>\n

Even a day later it can be big news, as he found when he returned home to find the grass torn up by ATV wheels and the chickadees unusually talkative. <\/p>\n

See more of Dennis’ photos on our Chirbles the Chickadee<\/a> page.<\/p>\n
