Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus), Kanab Creek, Fredonia, Coconino County

This Black-capped Chickadee was photographed by Felipe Guerrero on 21 November 2020.

Black-capped Chickadee is still a casual visitor to locations along the Utah border in Northern Arizaona, with most recent Arizona records from the Fredonia / Cororado City area during the fall and winter seasons, the most recent being January 2017. this species breeds not too far to the north along the Virgin River in SW Utah, and it is possible that a small population might be being established along riparian areas near Fredonia.
