Scientific Name: Poecile gambeli
Population Estimate: 12M
Range / Habitat: Year-round in dry, montane forests of the American West up to western Canada.
Field Notes: Small, active passerine with oversized round head. Striking black and white head with black neck and grey body. The white eyebrow differentiates from Black-capped Chickadee, Boreal Chickadee, and Chestnut-backed Chickadee.
Personal Notes: Chickadees are hard to photograph but we have been able to "lure" them by tapping rocks together and mimicking their call.
