Black Capped Chickadee

Outside in the pristine backyard, where the smell of fresh cut grass and blossoming flowers permeates the senses, the birds are signing the afternoon into a blissful rest. They call to one another in playful tones as their winds spread gracefully between trees. The Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small, North American songbird, a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is the state bird of bothMaine and Massachusetts in the United States, and the provincial bird of New Brunswick in Canada. It is notable for its capacity to lower its body temperature during cold winter nights, its good spatial memory to relocate the caches where it stores food, and its boldness near humans (they can feed from the hand).
