A New Bird on the Block

The weather is now wet.  A typical Oregon autumn/winter weather.  Between the rain, the sun sometimes shows up.

I thought I saw a chickadee, which is a resident here.  But with the help of a zoom lens, I discovered I saw someone new.

"Hi, I come here once in a while, but you never noticed me before."

As I looked closely, he/she had the black marking covering the eye.  It is not the black-capped Chickadee which I always see in my backyard.

"I am "Mountain Chickadee".  Nice to meet you."

Welcome to my backyard!  I hope to see you more often.
