Hello Ohio Birders,

As a follow-up to Bill Whan's post, in New England I've found boreal
chickadees foraging with black-capped or in mixed flocks of small woodland
birds.  My challenge has been to maintain enough patience to check every
bird and not just assume that they're all black-capped.  (This tip can work
in central and southern Ohio for finding the occasional black-capped mixed
in with Carolinas.)  I suspect that boreal chickadees may occur more
frequently than reported, at least in northernmost Ohio, but some of us
(like me) may not always think of them when we see small flocks of
chickadees.

Happy birding,

Dave Horn
Columbus
