> Hi all. While doing a Stormwater Pond inspection today at Gore plant on
> Appleton Road in Elkton, I stumbled on to a Chickadee doing a Black capped
> Chickadee call note. After I examined it for a few minutes at close range,
> I am very satisfied that this is a Black-capped. This bird was very
> cleanly marked. The size and shape of the bird stuck out. The white nape,
> bold white marks on the wing, the jagged black throat and the general jizz
> of the bird made this one easy for me. I was able to get a couple
> photographs.
