Saw this chickadee with a cigarette butt yesterday.
After I posted it on Flickr, a friend reminded me of these photos taken by one of my favorite bird photographers in Central Park:

A Google search turned up this article about birds using cigarette materials as insect-repelling nest lining.
I sent my photo and hers to the researcher quoted in the article.
