Black Capped visitor

[Randy Stout]

This fine young fellow was captured this AM in my backyard.  Rather slow going, but still enjoyed listening to the sounds of nature. 

D500 Sigma 150-600mm f/6.4  ISO 1000

Cropped about 30% for comp

Advice and comments always appreciated.

Cheers

Two candidates for this little chap, Marsh Tit or Willow Tit!

Nice capture.

But if this birdie tweets with an American accent I may have well be wrong!

It looks very much like our local Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) as indicated by the title of the thread. Just about to take off?

Thanks guys:

Yes, it def. is a black capped Chickadee.  They are the bravest of birds in my backyard, often sitting patiently while I am reloading the feeders, and then are down in seconds.  Nuthatches or tufted titmouse for second boldest!

Oivind - he was indeed getting ready to lift off.

Cheers

Thought so, I think Chickadee's maybe be related Eurasian Tits as they are very similar!
