Chickadee invasion?

Out and about this morning doing this and that I couldn't fail to notice that there were Black-capped Chickadees all over the place. Not huge numbers but enough to suggest that something is going on. Maybe they will drag a few of their boreal cousins down with them...

Otherwise pretty quiet birdwise with just the odd Hermit Thrush, White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco in the bushes and a lone Purple Finch whizzing over. Still way too cool for moths, unfortunately. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here in order to keep the blog going...apologies to all!
