Observation details

Two birds seen, photographed, and recorded. Associating closely with a third bird I was not able to positively ID as it dove down to the undergrowth too quickly to get a good viewing, but certainly another chickadee of some kind. Heard calling repeatedly and briefly singing, much raspier voice than BCCH or CBCH. Shortly after arriving at the pin on the RBA I heard the raspy calls coming from high in the conifers closer towards the intersection of the two trails. To my delight the birds dove down into the bushes low beside the trail where I was able to photograph them quickly before they disappeared down into the undergrowth. Nuthatches and BCCH and CBCH also heard nearby. Visually different from a BCCH due to the bold white eyebrow streaking through the dark cap. Back of camera photo to be added along with the checklist. Audio recording and full quality photo will be added when I get back to my house on the island later this week.
