In our urban backyard, we just found a single mountain chickadee at our
feeders amongst a flock of black-capped and chestnut-backed.

Additionally, we have had a unique Steller's Jay in our yard the past week.
It has very well-defined white eyebrows, but little white elsewhere on the
forehead. It suggests a Macrolopha sub-species, associated with the
Rockies, but is more likely a mix of sub-species, given that it doesn't have
all the typical characteristics. It's one of the very few I've seen around
here with the white supercilium.
