Dear Dennis, Cheasty Greenspace does not harbor many Chestnut-backed Chickadees, compared to Black-capped. The habitat is dense riparian woods with cleared-off areas decimated by developers building a mountain bike trail through the North Loop.
Nevertheless, Chestnut-backed Chickadees do occur here - and probably breed.
I'm not sure if we can detect a pattern, but here are our numbers for 2024 so far:
Chestnut-backed:
January: 3
February: 3
March: 7
April: 2
May: 5
June: 9
July: 4
Aug.: 5
Sept: 1
Oct. !
Black-capped in comparison:
January: 18
February: 38
March: 13
April: 26
May: 10
June: 12
July: 35
Aug.: 23
Sept.: 15
Oct. 26
