--20cf3054a4d776569704986478dd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 All, I thought I had posted an update of this, but Ken has asked the question, so perhaps I didn't. Within the last few weeks I received word from the biologists at the U of Lethbridge that the putative hybrid chickadee does in fact have a Boreal Chickadee mother. It started showing up at my feeder again after a few months away, and I see it now once or twice a day.

I assume one of the photos is a Black-capped and one a hybrid?? Interesting photos! cheers ken ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Randy Lauff <randy.lauff@gmail.com> *To:* NatureNS <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> *Sent:* Sunday, August 22, 2010 7:59 AM *Subject:* [NatureNS] possible hybrid chickadees All, On about the 30th of May, two biologists from the U of Lethbridge were at my home pursuing their work on woodpecker genetics. During that time, they caught a chickadee which I had told them about, a possible Boreal/Black-capped hybrid. I had reported on this around that time, and posted a not-so-good picture. Although hybridization of these two species is known, it does not appear to be common. The biologists have not yet done the blood work to confirm the hybridization, but they have sent me the better photographs. I have posted them at: http://people.stfx.ca/rlauff/photos/chickadees/ I've left the files quite large, so the most detail can be seen; these are not suitable for dial-up folks. If anyone wants smaller versions, let me know. Comments?
