Chestnut-backed Chickadees are fairly common throughout San Juan County, though I will have to check with folks on Waldron and Stuart Islands. We see them on every walk we do and they are common at our feeders.We are working on getting local birders to look more closely for Black-capped especially Orcas and Lopez as it is easier for them to arrive there from the mainland than to San Juan and other islands. We will need to contact more folks on Blakely and some of the Skagit Co San Juan Islands too.
