The Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapilla)is Canada’s most widespread bird species, flittingabout wooded areas as far north as Alaska. Itmeasures a mere 12–15 cm (4.75–6 in) tip to tipbut is surprisingly hardy to brave the northernclimate and larger avian species. Black-cappedChickadees will not hesitate to challenge intrudersand can often be seen chasing other birds awayfrom feeders. This clever bird is also known tohide its food—and remember its hidden cache28 days later!
The Black-capped Chickadee also has notablethermoregulation abilities to decrease its bodytemperature by 10–12° C (50–54° F) below daytimelevels to conserve energy on cold winter nights.
The official bird of New Brunswick sets to the busytask of nesting from April to June. A tree hole isideal for this compact bird, but it will not refusean abandoned woodpecker nest or hand-madenesting box.
