Question
HELLO. I just had a wonderful morning watching 5 little hatchling leave the nest will Mum and Dad make another nest and have a another brood do you think .? Thank you ......
Chickadees tend to have one brood per season -plus it is already June, so I'm thinking not. To encourage them to return, yu can put up nesting boxes of appropriate size and shape.
Things like the size of the opening and how high the box is placed vary be species.

Expertise
I can answer questions about bird identification (by sight or sound), behavior, distribution, population, conservation, mating, nesting, fledging and feeding. I do have some practical knowledge about foreign species, but identification skills are limited in that arena. Bear in mind that as much as I know, it's possible that at least some of you will ask a question that I am unable to answer. At which point I would direct you to wherever or whomever I thought could provide you with that information.

I have 15 years birding experience in Southern California.
