For the first time in 38 years, we had (1) a flock of robins, then (2) a flock of waxwings, then (3) titmice, and (4) the nicest event of all, a flock of Chestnut-backed chickadees. We’ve never had more than two or three Chickadees at one time.

Our birdbath must be very enticing, but they all roost in a laurel tree 50 feet from our back door. Next to the birdbath is a 35 foot Japanese maple and a 15 foot tangelo, both of which offer great protection.
