[EBB Sightings] fledge season

I observed orange crowned warblers feeding young at Huckleberry Preserve
on Wednesday, and a family group of chestnut-backed chickadees was in my
garden yesterday; my suspicions of all of that furtive bird behavior
have been confirmed. It's a great time to view those fearless (read
dumb, I mean na�ve) fledges and their nervous parents. Enjoy the prior,
but have respect for the later; it ain't easy being a parent, regardless
of your species.
