Rescued baby Black-capped Chickadee
Caretaker's note: Small birds sometimes make their way into the barn
and get trapped. In trying to escape they often fly into window and fall
stunned onto the floor. This young chickadee was picked up and
for quite some time wouldn't leave the rescuer's open hand.
Finally, as he tried to get the bird to hop onto an outdoor
table it flew up onto and perched on his nose - long enough
for several "self portraits with chickadee" to be taken.
