Midair DistractionHere’s a Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) caught mid-flight. Its head is turned slightly, as if noticing something just beyond the frame—something unseen, but clearly worth a glance. The pose has a comic-book urgency to it. I half expect a cape. Mighty Mouse comes to mind.Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.swede1952-photographs.pixels.c#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #CarolinaChickadee

    @Swede1952 Not only in midair but its wings are not spread 👍

    @masayuki60 Thanks! Chickadees fly in a bounding style—unless they’re fleeing predators. They flap briefly for lift, then tuck in and rocket forward for half a breath. The path they trace is almost a sine wave: up, pause, down, repeat.

    @Swede1952 @masayuki60 Until the advent of lots of ppl posting slo-mo photos of birds in flight, i’d had NO IDEA that birds flew like that. It was an amazing revelation to me. Back in Twitter day, i followed a woman who hand fed birds. I saw so many bird behaviors that i’d never imagined

    @Swede1952 Great picture! It has something below the wing. Is that a tick?

    @daniel Hmm ... I see what you see. It looks covered with black filoplumes, so likely not a tick. It looks like it is located directly below its right jet engine intake. Maybe camera tricks. Honestly, I just don't know what it is.
