Peter: Brian, can I see that paper for a sec?
(Brian gives Peter the paper. Peter peruses the paper.)
Peter: Huh... that's odd... I thought that would big news.
Chestnut-backed Chickadee
brown crown
chestnut sides
Feathered egg. Egg-shaped, covered in feathers. Or possibly fur. Possibly misplaced by a confused easter bunny, albeit it doesn't look chocolate.
Chestnut-backed chickadee, yeah, due to the chestnut sides and that touch of brownish in the cap. What a great shot! Better than a tulip for cheering someone up, at least if the someone is me. (Not that there's anything wrong with tulips. It's just that this little guy or gal is cute as a button, and the shot captures his/her personality perfectly.)
Chestnut-backed Chickadee, because of the back and sides color, white cheeks, and brown tinge to the cap. Cute as a button. Almost as cheery as a tulip.
