We definitely have Black Caps out here but even still, very hard to tell the 
difference. They seem quieter, definitely a bit bigger, more "elegant" (the 
white nape instead of the grayish nape), and more distinct white V in the 
back along the wing tips when folded. Nothing simple, though.

Best,

I have been watching the Chickadees in my yard and it seems to me that I
see some that have a rusty color on their sides. Some darker than others.
I have always thought that I only see the Carolina Chickadee, can I also see
the Black Capped Chickadee here at Prettyboy?
Does the Carolina also have the rusty color on their sides, my guide book 
does
not show the color on the Carolina's side.
