Just replenishing my feeders and, as  sometimes happens, the baby  
Chickadees and Nuthatches came to take seeds from my hand. Their behavior was  
markedly different. The chickadees were quite happy to share their perch but the  
baby RBs would not let another bird anywhere near, including their 
siblings. I  have always noticed that the adults are bad tempered but it was a bit 
surprising  to see it in very young birds.
Starting to see warblers in the yard, a sure sign that they are on the  
move.
