Title: Chickadees
Post by: JW Mills on January 17, 2010, 02:45:40 PM

About 8 or 10 chickadees were flitting about in my backyard this morning.
They were so fast, these are the only pics I was able to get
 
What do you call a group of chickadees?
A flash? A whisper?

Nice shots of these very cute little birds.
They are so fun to watch.
Also fyi:
A group of chickadees are collectively known as a "banditry" and a "dissimulation" of chickadees.

A banditry of chickadees, how appropriate!
 
Thanks Meghan
