A few days after seeing a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker investigate a tree cavity I saw a Chickadee do it.

It wasn’t as nice a day with a grey sky for a background, but the bird’s behavior was interesting.

The Chickadee went back and forth between this tree, which is dead, and an overhanging branch across the path. I’m not sure if he was looking for food or a potential nest site.

After the Chickadee flew off I went around the tree to see the cavity. I’ll be watching this spot when I pass by as spring progresses.
