Black-capped Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus This adorable bird, was waiting for me at the birdbath this morning. It had a layer of ice on top of the water. The bird let me get super close before retreating to a nearby bush while I broke the ice so it could get a drink. I was amazed to see several birds bathing in another birdbath in the yard a few minutes later. It was about 25 degrees F (-4 degrees C) outside!<br /> <br /> Habitat: Rural yard<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71876/black-capped_chickadee_-_poecile_atricapillus.html" title="Black-capped Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/71876_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=uyB151fssgGZ1yGv%2F5byTmA%2B2T0%3D" width="118" height="152" alt="Black-capped Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus Seriously cute and curious! <br /> <br /> Habitat: Rural yard<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71877/black-capped_chickadee_-_poecile_atricapillus.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71875/black-capped_chickadee_-_poecile_atricapillus.html Black-capped chickadee,Geotagged,Poecile atricapillus,United States,Winter,bird" /></a></figure><br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71875/black-capped_chickadee_-_poecile_atricapillus.html" title="Black-capped Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/71875_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=rnBARpYQB84eWWdnQUhAy9366yA%3D" width="200" height="156" alt="Black-capped Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus Seriously cute and curious! <br /> <br /> Habitat: Rural yard<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71877/black-capped_chickadee_-_poecile_atricapillus.html<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71876/black-capped_chickadee_-_poecile_atricapillus.html Black-capped chickadee,Geotagged,Poecile atricapillus,United States,Winter,bird" /></a></figure> Black-capped chickadee,Geotagged,Poecile atricapillus,United States,Winter Click/tap to enlarge
