Birdtober Day 3:Boreal Chickadee

[dumbbirdsfieldguide]

Common Name: Boreal Chickadee

This brown capped member of the Tit family is brown and dull. It lives quietly in the forests of the far North American continent and is non-migratory, so unless you’re unlucky enough to be in Alaska or Canada you probably won’t have to see one. Not that you would probably notice it if you did. It happily visits backyard feeders within its range, but there’s no compelling reason to bother looking. 

Fun Fact: Canadians are so bored with this bird that they have tried making it more interesting by inventing fun colloquial names for it, like Chick Chick, Tom-tit, and even Fillady. This doesn’t really help.

Bird Region: North America

There is something special about this image for me. I have to admit the photo was originally a mistake. I saw this bird in the morning but had the camera set for photos I had taken the night before when it was darker, so there was to much light and washed most of the photo out. But upon looking at it on the computer I saw that extra light erased everything but what was most important to the image. This Boreal chickadee eating its morning breakfast.
