    Seeds were flyin' when these two got into it. I read more about chickadees after witnessing this vicious fight, and I learned that they have a social hierarchy. When a lower-ranking bird doesn't get out of the way as a higher-ranking bird arrives, a nasty fight ensues.

    Fascinating image. I had no idea the chickadees were so hierarchical.
