Saw the most adorable little bird in our backyard. It was a tiny thing, maybe the size of a walnut on steroids, black and white wings with a black head. Tried to get a picture, but my photography skills were not up to the task. Ended up with a shot of a blurry black and white feathery lump, which I will not subject my flist to. After it flitted away, a tiny red-brown bird, like a female cardinal but in miniature, hopped along. It was only slightly larger than a walnut on steroids, and I’m wondering, are these birds fledglings, or am I suddenly getting an influx of Lilliputian birds?

Was the first bird this?
A Carolina chickadee?
Because than the second one might be this:
Carolina Wren
They hang together and are quite small!
That was them! That was them! You totally rawk!!
And, they hang out together? As in the two species like to buddy up?
Egg-zactly…. around Atlanta (Probably the whole South) they feed and fly together… they don’t interbreed or anything tho.
Sorry, hit the wrong button…. if you put up a little sunflower seed feeder you should see a bunch of them!
Bird chums! That’s just absolutely adorable.
There’s a Carolina wren in the latest version of that silly Wright Brothers story I wrote. That little bird makes a lot of music.
