Hi all,

I just wanted to send a quick note that yesterday (21 October), Danny
Bystrak and crew caught a BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE at Patuxent. He called to
see if I wanted to come down to see it, on my way to the banding shed, there
was another calling in the powerline cut that they band in.  This is on a
closed to the public portion of the refuge, but it seems likely that if
there were two there, more could be around and the visitor center is very
close by, definitely something to keep an eye out for!

Photos of the banded bird can be seen at:

Good Birding!
