mountain chickadee
Western highland titmouse
A mountain chickadee is a small North American songbird found in western mountain forests.
Gray above with a white belly, it's distinguished from other chickadees by the white stripe above its eye.
Like its relatives, it produces a buzzy *chick-a-dee* call: Mountain chickadees were busy at the feeder all morning.
