Hey All,


I only had a few seconds to shot this guy and unluckily didnt get the best shot any idea what bird I found? Thank you in advance. I was thinking chickadee but to me the tail didnt look right.

It looks to be a Chickadee.

The only option in northern Illinois is black-capped chickadee. Looks like half its tail is missing.

Black-capped Chickadee sans half its tail
