Bird of the Week – Boreal Chickadee

Boreal Chickadee, Fairbanks, December 2013

The Boreal Chickadee is the flashy, belligerent cousin of the more widespread Black-capped Chickadee. As its name says, this is bird of the boreal forest. It’s call is more nasal –”snee snee snee” than its Black-capped cousin “dee dee dee.” Less is known about Boreal Chickadees. Apparently, they aren’t as cooperative study subjects as their cousins. Good for them. For more bird photos, please visit Frozen Feather Images.
