Jan,
Chestnut-backed Chickadees are common nesters down to sea level around
here. I'm in Port Townsend. I've had Chestnut-backed and Black-capped
nesting in adjacent nest boxes 50 feet apart.
Presently, I have a Chestnut-backed Chickadee incubating 14 eggs,
which greatly exceeds the largest clutch ever documented (11 eggs). Photos
and more details are here:
