If you are being pursued by a little bird on the trail, chances are it is by the Black-Capped Chicadee. The Black-Capped Chickadee is a bit of snoop and tends to follow you through its territory. Its familiar chick-a-dee-dee-dee song means that you have just invaded its space. Chickadees stay in the Black Hills year-round, feeding on seeds, insects and wild fruits. Take a moment to look and listen for this feisty little bird. Chickadees may be seen nesting in the cavities of snags that the fire provided.
