We were awakened a little before 7:00 this morning by the loudest and longest Black-capped Chickadee calls that we have ever heard; 45 minutes later, now, it is quieting down somewhat. We live in Norton Shores near the corner of Seminole & McCracken and have never heard this before. Chickadees come to our feeders and we hear their calls, but never this loud or this long. We would estimate that the individual calls went on for 5-10 seconds. Just amazing. Has anyone else heard this, or know why this has happened?

Thanks, Jim and Linda Hopper

I'd guess a nearby predator (hawk or owl).
Perhaps they were becoming excessively flirtatious?? :)
