An uncommon Chickadee found mostly in Canada, Alaska and northern parts of a few northern US states.
A bright spot in a fairly slow wildlife day in the field for me yesterday was finding a couple of these. Most of our winter owls have migrated out of southern MB and few raptors and other species have migrated in. Northern Harriers and Bald Eagles were the most prevalent of the raptor in-migrators where I was.
The Boreal Chickadee breeds in all Canadian Provinces and Territories as well as Alaska, Washington and the very north of some eastern US states. In central Alberta, they are not as common as Black-capped Chickadees, but in more northern latitudes, they begin to outnumber the Black-capped Chickadees.
This image shows the chocolate-brown cap they sport as well as the cinnamon colour of the flanks. Their call is much more wheezy than the familiar call of the Black-capped Chickadee.

This was a most unexpected and unusual sighting in a park in Calgary, Alberta. This was a long shot as the owl was far in the forest. But I was very happy to see it as it is a lifer for me.
Thank you for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
You aren't bored. You are boring.

Accompanied my son to the Houston Zoo on a sunny Saturday, chockablock with parents with children of all ages learning something important about the diversity of life. That's an important mission for a zoo; preserving species in the midst of the sixth (anthropomorphic) extinction is another. I took my camera. Looking at my photos later I resolved not to photograph captive animals. But the expression on this gorilla's face, which summed up my predicament (and his or her predicament), had to be posted. What's the right thing to do?
Simply a beautiful bird. I was super lucky to have been directed to this wonderful owl and even better was able to point it out to my daughters from distance. I've tried visiting this park a few times in futility in search of this owl, but this time it was in the relative open roosting. Not the best place as it was mobbed by chickadees which is why it's eyes were open on this occasion before falling back to sleep.
… Look into Jimmy’s eyes and ask yourself whether he – or any ape for that matter – belongs to a zoo, even as well intentioned and caring an institution as ZSL London Zoo.
I try to convince myself that the facts he was born in captivity and Northern white cheek gibbons are almost wiped out in the wild matter… then I take another look at his face…
Sometimes i can easily get bored,so i don't have to stop my self
and..... go,go,go,go!

Took today off from work (out late last night at a choir concert), and went over to Commonwealth Lake this morning. I heard active chickadees in the trees on the north end of the park. Didn't get any shots of them (pretty dark there, and they move fast), then spotted a large dark mass in one of the trees. Turns out it as the elusive barred owl I'd heard of others having seen. Got a series of it as it posed for me. Eventually it got bored with me, so I moved on. By the way, this is a lifer for me!

This little one came in just after I spread the seeds on my deck rail. I hope it hangs around over the winter now that it has discovered a food source.
Edmonton. Alberta.
Muted processing for this time of year. The boardwalk appears so still and lifeless at this time of year. Not necessarily the case though, as I found some cool invertebrate life, which I'll post shortly!
