walked over and spotted a nest woven into a tangle of wires on a wooden utility
pole, maybe ten feet away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A chickadee
(I call most tiny birds chickadees,) stood peeping on the edge of the
nest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I looked away, and back, and it
was gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was enough activity
inside the nest to cause it to shake, though there were no visible chicks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I motioned Reggie over, and we watched for a few
seconds when the chickadee shot out of the nest, flew straight toward the open
and barred window, and in two blinks rocketed up and out of sight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For that moment it seemed as big as a hawk,
and supersonic, and its effect was like splashing cold water.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
