  • This subspecies of the chestnut-backed chickadee (Poecile rufescens rufescens) has very clearly marked reddish-brown coloring on its flanks, just under the wings. This Pacific Northwest subspecies is found from Northern California all the way to Alaska.
    Chestnut-Backed Chickadee
  • One of the most friendly and curious of American songbirds, this black-capped chickadee pauses on a stick next to me, watching me as closely as I was watching it in the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.
    Black-Capped Chickadee
  • A chestnut-backed chickadee perches in a maple tree south of Seattle.

    Chestnut-Backed Chickadee
  • This small variety of chickadee is a very common springtime visitor to the maple tree in my backyard. Extremely bold for even other usually curious chickadees, this one will often land within arm's reach from me if I'm just minding my own business, reading a book on my own back porch.
    Chestnut-Backed Chickadee
  • This chestnut-backed chickadee shares much of the same range as its cousin, the black-capped chickadee. Interestingly, they may share the same resources, but they don't share the same feeding habits. Chestnut-backed chickadees like to feed near the top of conifers and other deciduous trees, while black-capped chickadees prefer the lower half of these same trees. Therefore, they don't compete for resources.
