Ospreyers,

I also have a Chickadee which I believe to be a Black-capped. I have =
about five or six Chickadees coming to my feeders. The one I believe is =
Black-capped is larger and has white on greater coverts. The lower area =
of the bib did not look uneven. I have heard a Chickadee call near my =
house, which I believe was slower, but could not locate. Anyone in the =
area is more than welcome to stop by. Any help would be appreciated.

     Hi all-
   =20
       I tried in vain this morning to relocate the empid that Paul Z. =
had found yesterday at Black Hill Park in Mongomery County, MD.  =
However, I ran across another birder on his way to the site as I was =
leaving, so maybe he had better luck than I.
   =20
      Still, it was worth getting up early:
   =20
    (possible) BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE- on Lake View Loop close to the =
water.  I heard it call twice, but could not locate it.  Song was lower =
pitched and slower than Carolina.  I am hesitant to assert that it was a =
BC because I've read that Carolina's have been known to make calls =
similar to BC's.  Plus there's that whole hybrid thing. Had I more =
experience with BC's, I may have been able to be more certain.  So, I'm =
leaving it as a possible BC Chickadee.
   =20
    PURPLE FINCHES- 2 females at the top of Lake View Loop.
    RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES- 2 on Lake View Loop near water.
    RUSTY BLACKBIRDS- 5 or 6 at top of Lake View Loop.
    BUFFLEHEAD- pair visible from parking area near Rte 121 bridge.
    SAVANNAH SPARROW- 1 below parking area near Rte 121 bridge.
