lonesome55dove Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Taken 09 APR 2021 / South Central Washington / Klickitat County I spotted this bird flitting very quickly from one branch to another in a Black Locust tree. Can anyone ID It for me? It looks like a Chickadee but I'm not positive. The only Chickadees I'm familar with is Mountain Chakadees but this doesn't look like one to me. This is the only photo I have...the second photo is the cropped cropped version of the original. I beleive the ''white stripe'' on the bird is a dried locust pod hanging on a thin limb in front of the bird. The wind is blowing fairly strong today so the picture is a little blurry. I appreciate any and all help you can offer. Thank you! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesome55dove Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) @Kevin @Seanbirds I looked at Kinglets and other little ''flitting''' birds but I dismissed Kinglets...the dark-looking head threw me off.

Thank you! ? The body shape, bill and wingbars where all helpful pointers to a kinglet. Edited April 10, 2021 by Kevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
