BORIS MINKEVICH / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS A black-capped chickadee in Assiniboine Park weather standup. The birds are not shy and will land on your head or hand. FROM WIKI: The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small, nonmigratory, North American songbird that lives in deciduous and mixed forests. It is also the provincial bird of New Brunswick in Canada. It is well known for its capacity to lower its body temperature during cold winter nights as well as its good spatial memory to relocate the caches where it stores food, and its boldness near humans, sometimes feeding from the hand.
