I have seen a single Mountain Chickadee at my backyard feeder on two
occasions - first on 25-Nov-04 and again today (4-Dec-04). It shows up in a
mixed group of Chestnut-backed and Black-capped with a few Red-breasted
Nuthatches, and then hangs around by itself for a while. My bird book
(Sibley's) does even show it as "rare" this close to Puget Sound. Is this an
unusual sighting?
