Boreal Chickadee
 
Boreal Chickadee, Louis Agassiz Fuertes, Birds of America, 1917

Louis Agassiz Fuertes

 

Also called Hudsonian and Acadian Chickadee.

About five inches long. Similar to, but darker than the Black-capped Chickadee.

Grayish brown crown and back. Black throat. Ashen-white undersides and sides of neck. Chestnut flanks. Gray wings and tail.

Inhabits coniferous forests in Alaska and across Canada from British Columbia to the northern Great Lakes Region, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and down to the New England States.

USGS Boreal Chickadee Map

Builds nests of moss, fine grass and rabbit fur in cavities low to the ground in decayed stumps and higher in trees. 

Lays six or seven, more or less, creamy-white, speckled eggs

Forages for insects, seeds and fruit occasionally in flocks with Black-capped Chickadees

Feed Chickadees sunflower seeds, nyjer (thistle seeds) and suet.

Boreal Chickadee Song, F. Schuyler Mathews

Sings similar but more deliberate and lower pitched notes than the Black-capped Chickadee.

The Boreal Chickadee Birdhouse (same as for Nuthatches, Titmice, Downy Woodpeckers and other Chickadees) has a 4" by 4" floor, 9" inside ceiling, 1 1/4" diameter entrance hole located 7" above the floor and ventilation openings. Assembled with corrosion resistant screws fit to pre-drilled countersunk pilot holes. Hinged roof is secured with shutter hooks for easy access.

Boreal Chickadee, Chester A. Reed, Color Key to North American Birds, Frank M. Chapman, 1912

Chester A. Reed
 

Mount nest box on a tree trunk or hang from a limb from chest level to just out of reach, higher only if necessary. Because Chickadees commonly nest in natural or abandon cavities, or excavate their own cavities, a few chips on the nest box floor are fitting. Remove the nest after the brood rearing seasons are over.    Resources
