The Chickadee belongs to the group of birds known as titmice.
The word titmouse comes from the Old Icelandic word titr, meaning something small and a corruption of an old english word mase meaning small bird.
articapillus, Latin, ater meaning black capillus meaning hair of the men, or hair of the head

I was in my neighbor’s back yard taking flower pictures when I lucked up on this shot. Looks like the bird is checking out the bird house as a nesting location. Don’t know what kind of bird this is – if you know please let us know.
