Northern Chestnut-backed Chickadee (Poecile rufescens ssp. rufescens)Observer
aaronvealeDescription
A rarity for Alberta (and a welcomed surprise)! One of three individuals seen within a mixed flock of MOCH,BCCH,BRCR, and GCKI. The rich chestnut couloured back and flanks, combined with the grey underside fit with the northern most subspecies.

This is very blurry, but this is the best I got. I noticed a small bird with colours and patterns I have never seen before on a branch. As I got closer, I noticed it was a small owl. I am not sure if it was juvenile owl or a pygmy owl although it had bands above the eyes similar to pygmy owls as well as fake eyes in the back of the head.
The Stellar Jays were unhappy with it and started to bully it out of the tree. Hoping to see it another time with my camera to get a better picture.

Seeing this large group of Pacific loons was a highlight of this trip. Last I checked even just one was a significant rarity in Alberta. This flock numbered fifteen in total.

I think it's a screech owl? A baby one and its parent, I think.
