		Boreal Chickadees are specialists of the far-northern or high-altitude boreal spruce-fir forest.
		Boreal Chickadees in Washington probably comprise two different subspecies, with the birds in the northern Cascades from one population and the birds in the Kettle and Selkirk Mountains in eastern Washington from another population.
		Boreal Chickadees are uncommon year round in high-elevation forests at the northern border of Washington in the North Cascades, Kettle, and Selkirk Mountains.

	Boreal Chickadee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Boreal Chickadee, Parus hudsonicus or Poecile hudsonica, is a small songbird, a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae.
		Adults have grey-brown uppperparts with a brown cap and greyish wings and tail; their face is mainly grey with white on the sides.
		The call is a husky tsik-a-dee-dee, a variant on the call which gives chickadees their name.

	Discriminating Chickadees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This chickadee is one of the few passerines whose range is almost totally limited to the northern boreal forests, where it prefers dense conifer stands, particularly fl spruce and balsam fir.
		All chickadees exhibit a dark crown and bib, whitish cheeks, gray or brownish upperparts, and dirty white underparts, with a variable amount of buff on the flanks.
		Black-capped Chickadees are white from the cheeks to the side of the nape.

	WWF Canada - Education - Boreal Forest 101
		Though there is a noticeable presence of broadleaf species such as birches, aspens and poplars, boreal forests are primarily coniferous, comprising a handful of conifer species such as pines, spruces and firs.
		The boreal zone, with its closed crown or closed-canopy forest, can be viewed as the “true” boreal where there is active commercial forestry, while the Taiga to the north of the true boreal forest represents a transition zone between boreal and tundra, where open forest, wetland and barren land occur.
		Canada’s boreal region is tied intimately to this nation’s identity, culture and economy.

	Chickadees: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		Chickadees are small songbirds—5 to 5½ inches long (12.7-14 cm) with an 8-inch (20 cm) wingspan and a weight of only 1/3 to 1/2 an ounce (9-14 gms)—with round bodies, short pointed bills, long tails, fl bibs, and generally conservative gray, brown, fl, and white plumage.
		Chickadees can put on 8 percent of their body weight in fat each day (equivalent to 12 pounds (5.5 kg) of fat on a 150-pound (68 kg) human).
		The oldest reported boreal chickadee is a Fairbanks bird that was recaptured and released in 1993, 8 years and 5 months after it was first banded.

	NPWRC :: Titmice
		One important aspect of fl-capped chickadee breeding habitat is the presence of natural cavities or dead snags for nest placement.
		Boreal chickadees are not known to nest in northwestern Wisconsin; Bernard (1967) mentioned only winter records from Douglas County.
		The midsummer Douglas County record increases the probability that the boreal chickadee nests rarely in the Valley.

		Chickadee flocks have a well-organized and strict dominance structure, and when the chickadees fly in, it’s very easy to figure out which are dominant over which.
		One chickadee who is in about the middle of the hierarchy is the tamest—when it’s his or her turn to fly in, he sits on my hand for sometimes as long as a minute, carefully sorting through the mealworms and selecting the two plumpest ones.
		Boreal Chickadees aren’t nearly as abundant as their fl-capped relatives, and are tricky to find because their quiet chickadee call, like a fl-capped chickadee with a terminal disease, isn’t given very often.

	Hinterland Who's Who - Black-capped Chickadee
		In North America, this brownish-grey chickadee is found in a small corner of the northwestern Yukon and eastern Alaska, where it lives in the willow and spruce woods bordering the treeline.
		In the north, the chickadees usually roost in dense evergreen groves sheltered from the wind and snow.
		The chickadee is ordinarily a year-round resident, but from time to time large numbers of birds move long distances, generally south in the fall, and north in the spring.

		is one of the few passerines whose range is almost totally limited to the northern boreal forests, where it prefers dense conifer stands, particularly fl spruce and balsam fir.
		Boreal Chickadees are white on the fore cheek, but this fades to light gray behind the eye and extends to the nape.
		Diet: The Boreal Chickadee feeds principally on tree-infesting insects and spiders, their pupae and eggs, some fruit, and the seeds of conifers and birches.

	Taiga: The Canadian Boreal Forest
		A close relative of the ubiquitous Black-capped Chickadee is the Boreal Chickadee, which having a brown cap, rather than a fl one, inhabits northern conifer forests.
		Boreal Toads are also common on the fringes of lakes, just after the sun goes down.
		From the fragility of the beautiful twinflower to the seemingly inconceivable extent of the Boreal Forest itself, it is our most pervasive influence, and inside its web of life is the key to the health of an environment which nurtures and provides for our existence with water, trees, wildlife and even a stable continental climate.

	Boreal Chickadee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Formerly known as the Brown-capped Chickadee, the Boreal Chickadee is a small (14cm) species of the dense, boreal-coniferous and mixed coniferous-deciduous woodland.
		The song of the Boreal Chickadee is a simple, clear trill with a short introductory note, "p-twee-tititititittititi." Reminiscent of their common name, their hoarse and wheezy call is a nasal "tseek-a-day-day." Their scolding cries are heard immediately upon entering their territories, and these curious birds can easily be lured in closer for viewing by "pishing."
		Boreal chickadee nests are built in tree cavities and lined with moss, fur, plant down, inner bark, or lichen.

		The Black-capped Chickadee, a familiar and popular visitor to back yard feeders across most of Canada and the northern US, is one of the more than 50 species of titmice and chickadees that occur worldwide (Harrap and Quinn 1995).
		The Black-capped Chickadee is from 4.75 to 5.75 inches long with a wingspan of from 7.5 to 8.5 inches.
		Chickadees can be aged based on the amount of white extending across the tip of the outer tail feathers (Pyle 1997).

		Chickadees can excavate their own nest cavities, removing wood chips and dumping them away from the site to avoid attracting predators.
		Chickadees begin exploring potential nest sites in late January or early February in some locations, if the weather is warm and sunny.

	Birds of Nova Scotia - Boreal Chickadee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Less common than the Black-capped Chickadee, it is largely restricted to coniferous woods.
		Occasionally, it wanders in winter and is seen at feeding stations in towns and villages remote from its normal habitat, showing particular interest in suet and peanut butter.
		In winter they commonly associate with Golden-crowned Kinglets, Black-capped Chickadees and Red-breasted Nuthatches, all foraging together through snow-laden branches and thickets in search of the tree-infesting insects and their eggs that make up a large part of their winter fare; I have never seen any evidence of quarrelsome competition for these morsels.

		In fact, the boreal, named after Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, is the largest intact terrestrial ecosystem in the world, and Canada's portion alone represents 25 percent of the world's remaining frontier forests.
		Scandinavia's boreal became a heavily managed industrial forest decades ago, and the Siberian boreal is rapidly being cut to fund the cash-starved Russian economy.
		Raked by glaciers, the land beneath the boreal forest tends to be grooved or gently rolling, and consists of a tight mosaic of randomly deposited glacial substrates.
