@petergleick As kids β€˜ pop-up books go I reckon that’s about the best I’ve ever seen.

@petergleick Because of this, I just learned that chickadees look like sparrows but are actually more like tits.

@ravenbait @petergleick

Yes, family Paridae! Poecile rufescens, same genus as the willow tits (Poecile montana) and marsh tits (Poecile palustris) who are a bit closer to your range. I just learned that chestnut-backed chickadees were formerly lumped into Parus (noted on photographed page), but so were the willow tits, marsh tits, and well, over 50 species, apparently.

@petergleick every man's dream. You're out in the woods looking at pictures tits and then a real tit just appears out of nowhere.

Your friends would never believe you!

@petergleick I have a little chickadee flock that comes for the food I put out, and adorn the chokecherry. They are darling.

@petergleick adorbs! I think our North American chickadees (the black-capped) are much less colorful.

Close-up shot of a black-capped chickadee, stolen from The Web.  He has a black cap and a black beard, white cheeks, and the rest is a pale khaki-gray with peach tints and black wings.  In this photo, he's holding onto a white branch.

It will want a commission for posing for the photograph.

Talk to its agent and see if its available for the talk show circuit.
