I was very excited to have the opportunity to see this beautiful bird for the first time. It was very calm, hanging around for a bit and checking the place out while having a drink at the heated bird bath. In the meantime, we could hear some comotion in the chickadees clan nearby, with an inquisitive one hanging onto the chainlink fence by the bird bath, to get a close glance at this new visitor.
