Bird: Black-capped Chickadee

This noon, on a quintessential Indian summer day, all warm sunshine and colorful falling leaves, I was sitting on Eunice's front porch. Suddenly a black-capped chickadee flew onto the porch, flailed about a bit, and awkwardly landed on her mailbox. I watched as this cute little black and white bird hung from the bottom of the mailbox by one foot for a few seconds before collecting its wits and flying off.
