A year and a half ago in early July, we had a Mountain Chickadee show up in the yard. He has been here ever since and always comes in with a Black-capped Chickadee. I have always suspected that they were eventually going to breed in our area. This week, I noticed the pair going in and out of our nest box in the front yard. Even though they can nest in the same area research says that it is a rare occurence. Does anyone out there have experience with hybridization of the two chickadees? I'm hoping they pick this box so I can see the offspring of the two. Yesterday, Tom Pollock and I ran into David Waltman and had great views of the Neotropic Cormorant. He seems very comfortable hanging out with his relatives! A couple of photos can be seen in the Rare and Uncommon gallery below.
