    The chickadee continued nest-building in our patio bird house today.  At one 
    point it looked like it was bringing dry redwood needles.  By 4:30 it was 
    grabbing some of the commercially sold nesting material.  At least five 
    times it took this material in wads almost as big as its head.  Maybe it 
    wants to insulate the walls inside the house.
    
    The partner who seemed to be so interested in standing guard was mostly 
    absent today.  Probably clearing all the paper work with the building 
    inspectors in Martinez.
