I sent this to Carol but I’ve learned she is about to leave on vacation.
Carol,
You are the only one I know who might be able to follow-up on a bird from earlier today.
As you may know I had major back surgery late last year and need more surgery. I say this to let you know why I need your help as I can’t stand for any length of time. I was waiting in the car about 3:00 this afternoon , the 12th, as my husband went into Gayle’s Bakery. I saw a chickadee with a clear brown cap! It was working the flowers on the side fence as you look into the back parking lot. It didn’t appear to be a Boreal so possible Brown-capped? It was seen not far from a fuchsia that is pink and white.
If you can’t go chase, can you please see if there is someone else who might help?
The back had no Chestnut, the throat had a small amount of contrast.
