Where did the Chestnut-backed Chickadees come
from that were racing down the Oregon Coast?
Chestnut-backed Chickadees are a normal part of
our coastal avifauna, so seeing that species along the
coast is not a big deal, but Alan and I (others?) clearly
noticed bands of *traveling* birds, from north to south
I know Matt saw a large flock flying south on the coast,
but for what it's worth the concentrations I saw at
Cascade Head on both 9/19 and 10/3 were clearly
moving north. Also I don't think Alan commented on
a directional trend in his south coast report.
This at least suggests the possibility the coastal
Chestnut-backed numbers and wandering southbound
Mountain Chickadees may be causally unrelated.
