In late October and early November we had a few Mtn. Chickadee sightings in 
Coos.  I was excited thinking if was a major irruption year and we would get 
one on the Coos Bay CBC in December.  None after early November until a bird I 
found at Millicoma Marsh on 12/27, missing our CBC.  Then no sightings until 
Noah Strycker found two on the CoquilleValley CBC in Bandon on 5 January. 
NOTHING since.  I have looked and listened hard. Then today, out at the east 
side of Coos Bay near the boat ramp where Cedar and I walk, we found a barely 
singing MOUNTAIN CHICKADEE- way cool!  I had good looks at the white eyeline 
too. Very cool, a species we only get to see very 5 years or so in Coos if we 
are lucky!

Merry happy,
Tim R
Coos Bay
