| Looks very similar to our Black Capped Chickadees. I've got a pair nesting the birdhouse I'm trying to get a good shot of. Hard to catch these little critters - they move so darn fast! |

I had to look up what a Boreal Chickadee looked like. Territory is all north of the 48th parallel. I've never seen the Boreal, but now I know it exists. |

Yes, the Ruby-crowned Kinglets will migrate in soon. They are common and numerous. The Golden-crowned Kinglets live in the tallest, oldest Spruce forests at a higher elevation. Much more rare and VERY difficult to photograph. I mean, I get to see them up 30' in the big Spruces, but they are shy, shy, shy. |

We also have black-capped chickadees, but the mountain chickadees are more common in the high country. Other than the obvious differences in markings, the vocalizations are very different. So, I don't even need to see the bird to tell which is in the tree, bush, etc. |
