"Therien the wood chopper was here yesterday — and while I was cutting wood some chicadees hopped near pecking the bark and chips and the potatoe skins I had thrown out — What do you call them he asked — I told him — what do you call them asked I — ‘Mezezence’ I think he said. When I eat my dinner in the woods said he sitting very still having kindled a fire to warm my coffee — they come and light on my arm and peck at the potatoe in my fingers — I like to have the little fellers about me —

Just then one flew up from the snow and perched on the wood I was holding in my arms and pecked it and looked me familiarly in the face. Chica-a-dee–dee-dee-dee-dee, — while others were whistling phebe-phe-bee- in the woods behind the house."
