Mountain chickadees are frequent visitors to our yard and are one of a handful of species that can be seen year-round. We have two nest boxes and both are used by mountain chickadees each spring. Yet I often watch them as they fly around the yard because they can be seen doing some rather comical and acrobatic maneuvers. This one was working on a pine needle while hanging upside down. Curious as they are, they often perch on my lens while I’m photographing.
