Chickadee Acrobat
This amazing demonstration of aerobatic skill has my jaw dropping. I was photographing the chickadee on the perch and did not notice the one landing upside down on the bottom of the feeder!

Awesome. Too bad it's not a profile of the bird.

Later...I think this might be a nuthatch.Still awesome, and I agree David.

pretty amazing what their little feet can hold onto, Phil! I think you're right the first time with calling it a chickadee--a nuthatch would have a shorter tail.
