Last night at 11pm, I was turning out lights and there was a chestnut-backed chickadee trying to get into my back door. I have a window in the top of the door and here is this little bird frantically trying to get in. So I let him in with the door left open and he flew up on top of the cabinetry, then around the light. I have a natural wreath of dried flowers and he landed on that. He was quite confused, flying all about. I should explain that this is my back porch so it was not like I was letting him into my whole house. Anyway, I decided to turn off the overhead light and turned on the outside light right outside the door and he flew right past me and out. I find this rather odd and have never had this experience before. I don't think of chickadees as nocturnal at all and why all the agitation. ...............................................................Anyway, thought I would share.
