Description
This beautiful chickadee landed on my lap on March 21st. Just after this photo was taken, the chickadee jumped up & perched on my camera as it finished the seed. The Black-capped chickadee is a very familiar woodland resident, but has a very complex language that is under appreciated by many. They have at least 13 different vocalizations that they make, with several types of calls transmitting surprisingly complex information. They also can lower their body temperature dramatically (by 10-12 degrees Celsius) to survive cold nights, which is relatively rare for most birds. Black-capped Chickadees have a very good memory, being able to recall where they have stored seeds for up to 28 days afterwards. They are a common, but amazing, winter songbird that I really enjoy and respect!
