Chickadees

Black-capped Chickadee - Bebo Grove, AB In a little copse of White Spruce trees in the southern section of Calgary, Alberta is a park that runs along Fish Creek. In that park there are several spots to visit including historic Bebo Grove which is listed as one of the top spots for birding. During our visit we came across several winter species including White-breasted and Red-breasted Nuthatch, several woodpeckers, Mountain and Boreal Chickadee and these wonderful Black-capped chickadees. It was -15C while we were there and these little guys didn't mind at all. Michael W Klotz 2021 - www.TheBirdBlogger.com

Boreal Chickadee - Bebo Grove, AB It was a treat to see this far north chickadee up close just inside Calgary city limits in a park that runs either side of Fish Trap Creek. There was a mixed flock made up of Black-capped and Mountain Chickadees, Red-breasted and White-breasted Nuthatches and a couple of Hairy and Downy woodpeckers in there for good measure. As their name suggests, these birds live in the northern forests of Canada and Alaska year round and coming only slightly south in their range when the weather is particularly nasty.
