Unusual Bird: White capped chickadee
Additional images:
This chickadee is a common visitor to my feeders this year – The first picture shows its white head and the second picture shows the back of the head – it almost looks striped on the back of the head when flying. It’s not bald, just white on top of the head

I also have a white capped (black capped) chickadee at my feeder today. Thanks for posting your photo. Looks very much like what I am seeing.
I have one of them that comes to my bird feeders.
I also have a white capped chickadee at my feeder, it has the same markings on its back as a black capped chickadee, but the whole head was white first time that I ever saw one

I have a white capped chickadee- it’s head is entirely white. It only feeds at noon on the ground under the feeder. I have searched everywhere for a photo of a bird like mine- to no avail.
It’s been bugging me – but now I know it is a chickadee with a white head. Been here for a couple months.
I observed a white-capped chickadee this morning in a group of black-capped. It’s the first one I’ve seen here in Tacoma.
I’ve had one at the feeder for about 3 weeks. Very shy, doesn’t stay on the feeder for more than a couple of seconds. Central Massachusetts
