Chestnut-Backed Chickadee

Information about the Chestnut-Backed Chickadee:

The Chestnut-Backed Chickadee is a small passerine bird native to the low elevation coniferous and mixed coniferous/deciduous forests. It is also commonly seen in backyards at birdfeeders. They can be found from Alaska in the north, all the way through much of the Pacific Coast to southwestern California. They are small - even for a chickadee - only 4.5–4.9 inches long (11.5–12.5 cm) weighing about 0.30–0.44 ounces (8.5–12.6 g.) They will eat insects and other small invertebrates found in the foliage, as well as seeds, fruits and will readily eat food offered at birdfeeders, and are especially drawn to suet. The scientific name changed from "Parus rufescens" to "Poecile rufescens" representing the belief that the bird is it's own specific genus.
