Carolina Chickadees are adorable little acrobats.
I spot them from time to time.
But it is usually at a great distance and only for a fleeting moment.
Today I hiked two miles back into the forest and I waited patiently.
It paid off as this cute little fellow floated in and went to work.
This Chickadee spun, hopped, flipped, fluttered, hung, dipped, dropped, swung, climbed... it was an amazing show!
You can tell from these series of shots how busy it was.
They are very quick.
She would dangle by one foot and fall and rotate catching the next protrusion with her other foot.
I felt like I was wathcing an artist in the zone.
Poetry in motion
A beautiful Chickadee in the middle of the forest.
Perfection!
