Description
A single Chickadee seemingly going bizerk for no reason can often signal the presence of an owl. If an owl is unfortunate enough to be located by a Chickadee, more are en route to join the fight. Chickadee flocks will mercilessly harass owls and other birds of prey for hours. This particular Black-capped Chickadee was all alone, harassing an Eastern Screech Owl in a tree cavity. Soon several more Chickadees showed up, and the onslaught of the poor owl (who was just trying to get some sleep) continued.Niles Pond

That explains why I have such trouble getting a shot of the hyperactive little buggers.
Great shot, and I love the information.

What does the alarm sound like, because I may have heard it a couple of times. I've heard a bunch of them including the familiar "Chicka dee dee dee" and the two-toned whistle they sometimes make.
