Participant Photo: Leucistic Black Capped Chickadee

This little fellow was with me most of the summer. He came sporadically to the feeder and then became a frequent visitor. Like the other chickadees he became used to me and would eat off my hat, my knee, my shoulder and my hand. In all the time he visited he never made a single sound while all the others were quite vocal. I was fortunate to have seen him as well as a Leucistic Red-tailed Hawk in AZ during the same year.
