[Maine-birds] Boreal chickadee - Bath - Not so much

Photos of the reported Boreal Chickadee hanging out with the juv Red-headed Woodpecker at Bee Haven Farm, indicate that this is most likely a melanin-challenged Black-capped Chickadee.  Over-all back and flank colors are very Palomino-like; very light chamois.  Further, the cap and bib are the same shade of rusty brown.  I'll post some photos later.

Notes on the Golden Eagle at the landfill later as well. 

But the woodpecker persists, as many birders will attest.
