Chestnut-backed chickadee is common in particular terrains. Where do you live?

Depending on your range maybe unusual or common.
Buy a field guide or look up the range and potential overlap.

Chestnut-backed chickadees are a common sight on the entire western coast from the Southern part of Alaska to California.

Birds are too noble to be called freaks. Do you perhaps mean unusual or rare?
