Field Notes

Description:

Small chickadee with gray upperparts, distinct black cap and bib, dull white cheeks, and white underparts with rust-brown flanks. Short, black bill. When disturbed in its nest during incubation, it will hiss and strike intruders, similar to how a snake would act.

Habitat:

Wildlife habitat yard.

Notes:

This juvenile sat on top of the railing, looking a bit baffled as it watched other birds taking baths. Eventually though, it got the idea.
