Friendly Chickadees and Rural Life Reflections at Swampacres
A Vermont reminiscence describes daily winter rituals feeding chickadees nuthatch and woodpeckers at Swampacres. The author recalls 32 years of affection for the blackcap chickadee and the birds’ curious interactions, including seed handouts and a morning “sweet Jenny” whistle. The piece shifts to community notes about Dorset East Rupert Women’s Fellowship events and local club activities, including chicken pie suppers and a Dec. 8 fundraiser, plus a Pownal Fish and Game Club meeting and a firehouse record hop hosted by the Fire Department Auxiliary.
