I saw this little cutie at Delta Ponds. Here is something to think about: the Black-Capped Chickadee is smarter than one might think, certainly having a memory better than mine! It hides its food to eat later, each item in a different place. And get this, the chickadee can remember thousands of hiding places! Can you do that?

Here is what "All About Birds" says about the Black-Capped Chickadee:

"A bird almost universally considered “cute” thanks to its oversized round head, tiny body, and curiosity about everything, including humans. The chickadee’s black cap and bib; white cheeks; gray back, wings, and tail; and whitish underside with buffy sides are distinctive. Its habit of investigating people and everything else in its home territory, and quickness to discover bird feeders, make it one of the first birds most people learn." - https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black-capped_Chickadee/lifehistory)
