The little black capped chickadees here are the most spunky little birds. When I open the door to take the dogs out, Tasha races towards the feeders to gleefully chase away any birds or squirrels or bunnies that might be around, but I swear within 30 seconds the chickadees are back and making their little fussing noise and flying to the feeders to grab a seed. They will get just a few feet away from both people and dogs. So cute.

I live in Central Minnesota and haven't seen magpies here but I think they are further north. They are very pretty birds.
