Black-capped and Mountain chickadees abound in the mountains and foothills where Dawn grew up. Most of the charming little gray, white and black birds live higher in the mountains in summer, and migrate down to the sheltered draws of the foothills in winter, Here they find insects among the crevices of the cottonwood bark, and eat the berries and seeds of the junipers and cedars. Dozens of chickadees became so familiar with Dawn that when she hiked through the snow they followed her, fluttering around her and landing on her head, shoulders and hands looking for the sunflower seeds she always carried in her coat pockets for them.

One pair of Mountain chickadees she found especially endearing, and since a professor from Beijing University had recently visited her family and taught her some Chinese, she named the tiny birds Didi and Jeijei (meaning Little Brother and Sister).

This pair stayed to nest in the draw near Dawn’s cabin, enabling her to watch their courtship displays, in which Jeijei acted like a helpless nestling, fluttering her wings and begging, and Didi proved himself as a provider by feeding her seeds and insects. Much to Dawn’s delight, the pair successfully raised a brood of youngsters, the next generation of her closest friends.
