Feeding mountain chickadees Pine nuts are their favorite. The last several times I've been up here, I didn't see any chickadees at the top on the ridge. But I always find them down here near the northern base of the ridge. If you hear them you stop walking and look around and if you see a few you reach for the pine nuts and almost the moment the nuts come out the chickadees are mobbing you.
Relay Peak 10,338 feet high. I have been to the top multiple times, and it is one of my favorite local climbs. In fact, I prefer it to nearby (and slightly taller and more famous) Mt Rose in many ways because far fewer people ever climb it. Maybe because most of the route is along a dirt road rather than a forest trail. But I don't mind that. I have posted photos of previous Relay Peak hikes <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonov/albums/72177720301684171/">here</a>, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonov/albums/72177720300125283/">here</a>, <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonov/albums/72177720301696259">here</a> and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/simonov/albums/72177720318372064">here</a>.

Incline Peak 9,561 feet high. I've never been to the top of it yet. This was a pleasant 2½ mile round trip hike up Chickadee Ridge, about a week after the season's first major snow.

If you hear them you stop walking and look around and if you see a few you reach for the pine nuts and almost the moment the nuts come out the chickadees are mobbing you. The nuthatches are fellow travelers. They watch what the chickadees are up to and might decide to get in on the sweet, sweet pine nut action. However, I have encountered much larger Clark's nuthatches that dance around the tree branches watching the chickadees, but just can't bring themselves to come down to my hand. Eventually they'll go for pine nuts I toss onto the snow. But these smaller guys are much more courageous.
