Description
A little north for the chickadee, but it still managed to find the bird feeder, stealing all of the sunflower seeds and then eating them in the bushes.I used a tripod and a remote to get the capture, along with a fully extended telephoto lens. Though the focus could have been a little sharper.
If I've misnamed the bird, please let me know. There's quite a few bird lovers on dA, so point me in the right direction if I have misidentified.

You're right on the ID. This is a Carolina Chickadee, as are most of the chickadees in the Pittsburgh area, unless you get some Black-caps coming down from the north during the winter in an irruption year. I study both Black-capped and Carolina chickadees, so I can definitely tell you this is a Carolina.

Thank you very much for the detailed description, and sharing your knowledge. It's amazing that you know all of that
I'll be on the lookout for the black-capped chickadees now that I'm aware of them. Hopefully I'll get a clearer shot next time
