Dear Tweeters,

Walking the dog today on the "Cascade Trail" (rail-to-trail) between Lyman and Hamilton (Skagit County), I was lucky enough to stumble onto a MOUNTAIN CHICKADEE. The bird alerted me with its call note. It was foraging with some Black-capped Chickadees and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet at the south end of Cabin Creek Road, just west of Muddy Creek. I raced home and put out an exorbitant amount of suet, sunflower, and millet, but alas, the bird did not make the one-kilometer jaunt over to my place.

Yours truly,
