Hi all --

Had a Black-capped Chickadee visit our feeder this morning -- we have had
one or two of this species on and off since Christmas, but only for a visit
or two and then -- off somewhere else. The most recent visitor also only
came in a few times and hasn't been seen for several hours. Very distinctive
ragged bib, prominent white "hockey-sticks" on wings and -- although no
Carolinas there at same time -- did appear a tad larger and longer.

Our feeders were not attended while we were away in Guatemala so the birds
are just starting to rediscover the goodies!
