Chestnut-backed Chickadee
Poecile rufescens
37.7806, -122.149
Field Notes
Description:
Very small passerine bird. Large brown cap, wide white cheek stripe, dark throat. Back is chestnut color with grey belly. Wings and tail are a greyish brown.
Will either be found alone or grouped with Bushtits moving from brush to brush.
Habitat:
Mix woods, shrubs and can also be found in cities.
Notes:
Startled this one on a trail. It jump up on a branch right next to me and was curious about the sound my camera was making. I believe that might be dog hair he's got since this is a well traveled dog walking trail or even fox that has been spotted in the area.
