Observation details

A single individual in one of the small ornamental trees, an apparent fledgling separated from its parents and in some distress, repeatedly emitting an unusual call. This is (remarkably) the first Chickadee I have seen in the park since 2007. Even though Chickadees occur in the surrounding neighborhoods, the park grounds proper are just too open to be attractive to them. I have entered a breeding code for this individual as a fledgling, although the species certainly isn't breeding in the park itself; the likely breeding location is the neighborhood across the railroad tracks to the S.
