Parus atricapillus

Date taken: Jan 30 2019

Details: adult

Ottawa - I don't take many pictures of Chickadees but when I spotted this guy I got a few shots off very quickly before it moved on. Leucism has altered not only the head colouring but the side feathers are paler and note the foot colour. It should be black.

Date taken: Aug 28 2019

Details: juvenile

Presqu'ile Provincial Park - a good bird for us in the East. We didn't know the bird had been sighted in the morning. Note the droop at the end of the longer bill (shorter in Semipalmated Sandpiper) and the bit of rusty on the scapulars. I didn't realize until two days later that the bird reported earlier in the day had different markings so a second bird.

Prince Edward Point - A provincially rare species.I was searching for another provincial rarity and failed to locate it when we learned of this bird only 40 minutes away. We had it 20 minutes after we arrived and over the next 4 hours I saw it about five more times for less than a minute each.
