[AHoodedWarbler@xxxxxxx]

I don't know if it is unusual behavior, but several Carolina Chickadees have 
taken to feeding at a thistle tube feeders frequented by my resident American 
Goldfinches. They have even altered their usual "grab and go" method used with 
sunflower seed; now, the chickadee perches and feeds patiently on the thistle 
seeds dispensed at the port. 

I actually noticed the chickadees on the thistle tubes about a week ago, but 
saw this past weekend that they have become frequent visitors to the tubes.

In addition, on Sunday, Aug. 22, I had two Red-breasted Nuthatches in the woods 
near my home on Simerly Creek Road, Hampton, Carter Co., TN. The nuthatches are 
probably moving down from the higher elevations as this is not the first time 
I've had RB Nuthatches present in August.
