Yesterday we noticed 2 adult Black-capped Chickadees with white seeds in their bills repeatedly landing in our rhododendrons and then diving down into the ferns.
We retreated back into the house and saw the fledgling taking flights of about a foot in length while exploring its surroundings with the adults continuing to arrive with food.
There was another fledgling about 7 feet up in the rhodies. An Anna’s Hummingbird inspected it from about 6 inches away and then left. A Dark-eyed Junco arrived and was driven off by one of the adult Chickadees.
