Dame Bushtit Ballona Freshwater Marsh Los Angeles California 199
"Aside from being among the tiniest songbirds, Bushtits are worth breaking out the binoculars for because what they lack in coloration, they make up for in personality. They live in flocks almost year round, foraging for food. They also use this social network for their safety. When they spot a hawk or some other bird of prey, they create what birders call the confusion cloud. They move closer together, repeatedly trilling, which creates a swarm or noise that confuses the predator", according to the book, Birds at Your Feeder: A Guide to Feeding Habits, Behavior, Distribution, and Abundance, by Erica Dunn and Diane L. Tessaglia-Hymes.
