This tiny cutie came for a meal at one of our backyard feeders. I think Chickadees are such pretty little birds, so was pleased to see this one join the Junco's in our yard. It doesn't have the markings and colors of what I usually see, the Black-capped Chickadee. My trusty Birds of Oregon book identifies it as a Chestnut-backed Chickadee, the first one I have seen. But they are shown to be found throughout Western Oregon. It is said to be the smallest of North American Chickadees and normally likes the denser forests of the Pacific Northwest. The book says that the Chestnut-backed Chickadee is less regular at bird feeders than are other Chickadees, preferring denser cover. But it also says that in severe winters, small parties may join other wintering songbirds in urban areas. This explains why I saw it at our feeder. What a treat!
