Michigan Species to Know - Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus)

Here is another Michigan species card - the Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus).  

One of the first posts that I ever wrote for this blog was about the winter survival strategies of Black-capped Chickadees. You can read it here.

Over the next few days I plan to share cards for the Downy Woodpecker, Tree Swallow, and Silky Dogwood.  Then I'll give an example of how I use these cards in the classroom.
