Chestnut-backed Chickadees can be found in the mixed conifer forest just
west of the central Cascade crest. While doing the Santiam Pass CBC a few
years ago, I heard several of them calling from the snow-covered conifers
just west of Hoodoo. I've never seen them in the Sisters area and wouldn't
expect to find them in ponderosa pine-dominated forests, but I wouldn't be
shocked if small numbers of them are breeding down there.

Teresa, Michelle and I have just returned from an week of visiting
the Central Oregon Cascades including Crater Lake, Newberry Crater and
other high elevation tourist destinations.
Notable bird species on the trip include WILLIAMSON'S SAPSUCKER at
Klamath Marsh and Cold Springs, PINYON JAYS in Bend. And yes, it was
me who reported the BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES in Deschutes County (Cold
Springs and Sisters). I down-graded them on eBird to chickadee sp.
since I have no pictures and failed to adequately document them. I can
say with confidence that they were not Mountain Chickadees...
