Black-capped Chickadee: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, December 2025 \u2014 I am enjoying what has apparently turned into my \u201cbird tongue\u201d project. It is one thing to continue to photograph the feeder birds through the back deck door, and I will always enjoy that, but trying to catch them with their tongues out adds a bit of spice. This Chickadee is showing a tongue that looks a bit more fleshly than the woodpecker tongues. Appearances can be deceiving as they say, so I will not put much stock in that, but it certainly looks more flexible and forgiving. Perhaps it has to do with the ability to sing a melodious song.
