I was surprised to find Chestnut-backed Chickadee's in this park!
I thought it was too small or too urban!

Also heard the slight call of a Hermit Thrush so I mimicked it and a head popped into a hole in the Himalayan blackberry!

BTW I do hope more birder photographers return to post their photos as it is a fantastic page!

Thanks Dragonspeed and nealdoan,

Such a beautiful bird and song but, they like to skulk and hide!
