Black Capped Chickadees

Black Capped Chickadees
      hop from branch to branch, then swoop
                     dipping in the air
              Birds having fun in the trees
           chirping, singing, as they please

Love this. I love those little birds. So merry and fun to watch. I feed them through the winter. Great description here. I could see them in my mind's eye hopping from snow capped branch to branch. God Bless, JB

I am happy you love this one Judy. They are cute little birds. Yes, they come in winter too. For now they were hopping around summer's branches- soon to be fall. Thank you. God Bless :)

In Hawai'i, we have beautiful Fairy Terns, soaring playfully around clear blue skies and through vibrant rainbows for everyone to see - if they look up! Aloha! Rico
