The Boreal Chickadee is a hardy and elusive tit species of northern North America, characterized by its brown cap, rusty flanks, and plain grayish body. It is a specialist of boreal forests.
Where to spot
Found across the boreal forests of Canada and Alaska, extending into the northernmost United States, inhabiting spruce and fir forests.
How to spot
Focus on dense conifer forests in northern regions. Listen for its unique, nasal 'chick-a-dee-dee' call, which sounds distinctly different from other chickadees. Scan conifer branches carefully.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, particularly mornings. Can be difficult to find due to its quiet nature and remote habitat.

Adapted to extreme cold, Boreal Chickadees excavate their own nest cavities in soft, rotting wood and cache large quantities of food to survive harsh winters.
