[obol] Black-capped Chickadees [Foster Lake-Sweet Home]

[Betty Mankin]

A pair of black-capped chicadees stopped by this morning to check
out my feeders.  I was watering nearby so they left--don't know if
they returned.  This is the first time I have seen them.
Also, I saw a report of unusual sighting of a golden-crowned
sparrow in the Portland area.  Had one here a couple of weeks ago--
have photos of this little guy.

Still have several unidentified birds at the feeder.  I am new at
identifying birds.  One is a sparrow but can't decide which kind and
the other is about blackbird size, brown, (but who isn't) but with
double white wing bars and white side markings on the tail. 

If anyone in the Sweet Home area would like to walk with a newbie would
be willing to play chaffeur (sp)?

Please let me know if this post does not come thru properly. I hope
I have everything set right.
