OMG: a chickadee in the winter? #WTF

Maybe a ghost bird? Symbolism? Why a chickadee?
Could be a sparrow? Thrush? Lark? Does it make a diff?

So not the point. Birds stay put sometimes in cold enough climes. Don’t u
ever look up? #watchthebirdie

Just a cat. Cats stalk birds. Birds sing. #nobiggie

Treble means 3 Tremulous? Victim birds. Peeping Tom?
