hello all,

I would appreciate help with a bird ID, photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/89985360 at N00/. I apologize for the composition, this bird landed on our feeder (off South Bay Road, Olympia) only very briefly. I get messages in the digest form so if you could reply directly to me it would be appreciated. Also on the site are some video clips from a nestbox cam we have, with a pair of chestnut-backed chickadees nesting. Eggs were first seen in the nest on 7 May so we are expecting them to hatch any minute. I'd be very interested in finding out how long chestnut-backed chickadees take to fledge if anyone knows.

thanks,

Robin
