[cobirds] Re: Continuing saga: Black-capped chickadee and red-breasted nuthatch; Littleton

I live in Summit county and I observe Chickadees and Nuthatches hanging around together all the time.

 Is there a relationship between the two?

Today the black-capped chickadee appeared an hour later (12 noon instead of 11), and worked on the limb cavity for about 6 minutes.  You could see it taking out pieces of tree and dropping it to the ground. No nuthatches showed up but when a male house finch flew into the tree about 10 feet away and started singing, the black-capped chickadee left.  The house finch has done quite a lot of singing from this tree since then on and off and as of an hour later, the chickadee hasn't returned.  Maybe tomorrow?
