Spotted
The Grey-headed Chickadee is a rare and elusive tit species of the high Arctic, known for its pale grey head and plain, subdued plumage. It is one of the northernmost tit species.
Where to spot
Circumpolar in the high Arctic, found in northern North America, Scandinavia, and Siberia, inhabiting stunted boreal forests and willow scrub in tundra zones.
How to spot
Requires expeditions to remote high-latitude regions. Look for them in sparse tundra trees or willows. Listen for their soft, high-pitched calls, which are very subtle.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Extremely challenging to observe due to its remote habitat and sparse distribution. Best during the summer months when daylight is longer.
