All About the Little Ones Today, the Chickadee, one of the smaller species of song birds. So tiny but fast, I have been trying to get a photo of this little one in motion for a long time.

I finally did it today, I had to turn the shutter speed up to 1/8000 of a Second to attempt to stop its wings in motion. There is still a little motion blur, but now I know how fast the shutter has to open to even get close to slowing down these little ones.

On cold winter nights, these birds can reduce their body temperature by as much as 12°C (from their normal temperature of about 42°C) to conserve energy. Such a capacity for torpor is not very common in birds.

They can reach speeds up to 12 miles an hour,

For what is life, it is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.
