I do not know if this is the Carolina or Black-capped Chickadee
The bird bath is this morning's gathering spot. One of several individuals with several other species.

It looked pretty good for a hybrid. The location was a few miles East of what I would expect, but not unheard of. It was making CACH-like calls and looked closer to a BCCH. See eBird list: https://ebird.org/atlasmddc/checklist/S141682608
Has been carrying food to a nest.
