Black-capped Chickadee
Poecile atricapillus
3. 1mi N, 1mi W Fort Dick, sea level, Del Norte Co., Calif.
June 11 Have heard these birds several times in the last couple
days. This is the first one I have seen. It was shot
while giving a -- call from an older
in a small grove. Another is here, also giving
same call. RCB 504. Late, in the afternoon,
saw near camp, where I have heard them
previously, carrying food in its mouth. Shortly
after this one was foraging in the redwood
just over my head. There are also Chestnut-
backed Chickadees here - I saw a family of them
in the morning.
