question about chickadee behavior
Post Body
I've got a pair of chestnut-backed chickadees nesting in a hole in a tree outside my apartment. I've noticed that before going in or out of the nest they often pause, fluff up their feathers a bit, and sort of shake their wings. Overall, it looks similar to the way birds take a bath, except they're on a tree and it's not raining.
What's this about? Are they dusting themselves off to keep the nest clean?
