Mystery solved

It's a Carolina Chickadee (poecile carolinensis). Finally got a good look at it the other day.
  • Small, short-billed bird.
  • Black cap.
  • Black bib.
  • White cheeks.
  • Back unstreaked gray.
  • Underparts whitish.
Yep. That's the new visitor. And for the record, I did not Google "White cheeks." Or "Underparts."

The description didn't include "brave." They are the first birds back at the feeder when I go outside to work in the yard.
