Bird of the Week
Black-capped Chickadee
Poecile atricapillus
The chickadee's call is the inspiration for its name, but listen for the Black-capped Chickadee's song in spring: "Fee-bee..." It's a common backyard bird year-round, and spring will find the Black-capped Chickadee looking for a small cavity in which it can nest. There are six species of chickadees that can be found throughout North America. Washington State has four of them.
Birding Site of the Week
Seattle - Discovery Park
Puget Trough
The 585 acres of varied habitat at Discovery Park offer great birding opportunities year-round. March provides an opportunity to view our winter visitors before they begin to head back to their breeding grounds. Look for Golden-crowned, White-crowned, Song, and Fox Sparrows in the blackberry brambles. Ducks, cormorants, gulls, loons, grebes, and alcids are viewable from the West Point lighthouse.
