Checking for errors
Just to be clear, not my photo…so to whomever took it,,hats off

Checking for errors. An open ornithology book against a green lawn. Open to a book on black capped chickadee. To the left print about the little bird, to the right diagrams for identification. Sitting on the upper left of the book is a Carolina? Chickadee looking down at the page as if checking for errors, which if it is a Carolina chickadee, is incorrect, the chickadee has a grayish buff chest, a bit of a black band showing beneath the chin, white cheek strip and black cap, black bill. Apology bird watchers if I got the id and terminology wrong.
