Black-capped Chickadee.
This one was a chickadees-and-robins sort of day. Sunny—no, cloudless. Chilly and breezy. Only about 10 degrees (F) when dog and I set out for our daily hike this morning. Saw/heard multiple chickadees poking about in the branches, and even greater numbers of robins in the sumac and bayberry.
American Robin.
G0tta say there’s worse things than a chickadees-and-robins sort of day.
