View Recording
DESCRIPTION:
The bird in the image is a small passerine with a distinctive black cap extending from the crown to the nape, bright white cheeks, and a contrasting black bib under its chin. Its back and wings are a soft gray, and its underside is a creamy buff color, fading to white on the flanks. The bird has a small, pointed beak, well-suited for foraging on the various seeds visible in the feeder. It appears plump, likely fluffed up against the cold, indicated by the snowy background.
