Notes: Bushtits love to talk when we band them: they chatter to their flockmates and scold us enthusiastically. Because they alternate between doing each of these, it gives the overall impression of: “Let go of me, big featherless monster! – Hey guys hang on, I’m just putting this clown in its place. – You should be ashamed of yourself!”
