Birdland: The Inquisitive Chickadee

Black-capped Chickadees don’t just have a cute name. With little black caps on top of their oversized round heads and exhibiting curiosity about everything, including humans, they are almost universally considered adorable. They are one of the easiest birds to attract to backyard feeders. And here’s a cool fact: The chickadees often hide seeds and other food items to eat later. Each item is placed in a different spot, and they can remember thousands of hiding places. This little guy was photographed in Park Hill by Mark Silverstein.
