Spotted
The Mountain Chickadee is a distinctive western North American tit, easily identified by its black cap, white cheeks, and a prominent white stripe above its eye. It is an inhabitant of coniferous forests.
Where to spot
Found in the mountains and coniferous forests of western North America, from British Columbia south to California and east to the Rocky Mountains.
How to spot
Look for them in coniferous forests. Their white eyebrow stripe is a key identification mark. Listen for their unique 'chick-a-dee' call, which often has a husky quality, and a 'sisk-a-dee' song.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, particularly mornings.

Mountain Chickadees are highly adapted to cold environments, capable of huddling together in tree cavities and lowering their body temperature to survive frigid mountain nights.
