Poecile gambeli
"Tiny, large-headed but small-billed, with a long, narrow tail and full, rounded wings. Like all chickadees, strikingly black-and-white on the head, gray elsewhere. The white stripe over the eye identifies Mountain Chickadees from all other chickadees." - All About Birds
Palomar Mountain in a mixed oak and evergreen forest about 5,300 ft in elevation. They're found in the "dry, mountainous forests of the West. The similar Black-capped Chickadee often occurs along streams and in broad-leaved trees, while Mountain Chickadees stick to the evergreens on higher slope" - All About Birds
