This handsome little fellow is a Chestnut-backed Chickadee. They are not the easiest bird to photograph since they flit around a lot moving from branch to branch in search of the insects they eat. They also spend a lot of time upside down and jerk themselves about as they scan crevices in the bark. So, I have a great collection of photos of branches where one of them perched a few seconds ago, or a blur with some chestnut patches in it.

Great capture though! He's a cutie!
Yes, they can be exasperating to capture! I'm in your fair city today, though it isn't to fair! Rain, and more rain...
So cute!
Beautiful photograph, with a painterly-Audubonesqe quality.
I have never seen a Chickadee with that colour-marking before.
Wow.
