[Tweeters] Black-capped Chickadees sounding like Mountain Chickadees

[Jane Hadley via Tweeters]

In May 2025, my husband, a friend and I were doing a migration count on the
Willard Springs trail at the Conboy National Wildlife Refuge headquarters
in Glenwood, Washington.

We heard what we thought was a Black-capped Chickadee, but then when I
looked at the singing bird through my binocs, I saw that it could be a
Mountain Chickadee. Meanwhile, Merlin was identifying it as a Black-capped.

I was determined to get a good look at it and finally did. It was a
Mountain Chickadee, and I was looking squarely at it as it was singing and
as Merlin was identifying it as Black-capped.
