We had named the bird "Nelsonbird" that went on and on interminably early in the spring morning with a call resembling the jeer of the unpleasant little boy Nelson in the Simpsons. "Ha-ha!"

I got a recording of bird songs out of the library, and found that was one of the calls of the black-capped chickadee. We see lots of those around here, usually in crowds, in the winter wrestling with the sparrows over rights to the feeders. Lately they have left it all (niger and safflower seed) to the finches.
