Agree with Liam! Double check your chickadees every time you see them, though. Boreal Chickadees are lovely birds to find, and sometimes they mix with the Black-caps. :)

When I first saw the #2 bird I was thinking the bill was finchish (very stout), but then got stuck on the sparrow idea. I'll look into the Boreal Chickadee identification. Thanks both.
