Last year we found that a Chestnut-backed chickadee was spending the night
perched on a hanging hook under the overhang of our front porch in south
Berkeley. I put up a roosting pocket (purchased online) as a kind of "hotel
room" for the chickadee, but the bird spurned the offering. Instead, within
a few months a pair of Bewick's wren built a nest in the roosting pocket.
They successfully reared a brood of four young birds. I hope they return
this spring.
