Field Notes

Description:

Tiny, large-headed but small-billed, with a long, narrow tail and full, rounded wings.
Like all chickadees, strikingly black-and-white on the head, gray elsewhere. The white stripe over the eye identifies Mountain Chickadees from all other chickadees.

Habitat:

Feeder at Santa Fe Ski Lodge in pine forest of Sangre de Cristo Mountains at 10,000 ft.
