Am having scads of Black-capped and Chestnut-backed chickadee fledglings
plus also Red-breasted nuthatch, Purple finch, Pine-siskin, American
goldfinch and Black-headed grosbeak teens crowding my condo deck feeders.
A Brown-creeper fledgling crashed into a window near the deck, but, clung
to the outer frame until could recover its wits and fly away.

Good birding to all,
