Bird Watching Globe 54/365

Yes, I'm an 80 year old women trapped in a 35 year old body.  I used to think bird watching was lame, now I really enjoy it, though I'm still learning my birds.  Here is my deck set-up, in hopes of capturing a bird eating of the plate.  I sprinkled seed down the deck steps in hopes of luring them from my backyard of preserved wetlands.

I played the game Sorry with the kids and waited.  A bird came after ten minutes.  Here it is! Can you identify it?  It looks almost like a black capped chickadee but with less white on his body.
My husband came home from work and saw us like this, hoping we could get another close-up.  It didn't happen, even after an hour but it was fun watching and waiting!
