Index of Subjects Hi Eleanor and others, My perspective is that Boreal Chickadees remain as uncommon permanent residents. They are unusual at feeders but we had a couple of regulars for the first two or three years at our new home in Clayton Park West (Halifax). Of course, back then, before much more extensive development, we also had Northern Flying Squirrels and Ruffed Grouse. Perhaps Christmas Bird Count data might be able to reveal any population changes, and of course the Maritime Breeding Bird Atlas should give valuable information on their distribution and abundance. The Rainbow Haven contingent encountered a small group of BOCHs in early morning on the Halifax-Dartmouth Christmas Count on Dec 17, however, these were the first I had seen in a couple of months and I haven't seen any since. I guess they are taking black oil sunflower seeds?
