Peeking through the branches of a wonderful old spruce to get a glimpse of a Mountain Chickadee. With both Mountain and Black Capped busy buzzing the trees it is often difficult to tell them apart. So it was nice to get a glimpse of this one happily taking a break to get that positive ID.

Nice shot of its fine, gray mantle and catchlights. I love chickadees, they are so cheering.
