Description
black-capped chickadee on internet:
The black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small, nonmigratory, North American songbird that lives in deciduous and mixed forests. It is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is the state bird of Massachusetts and of Maine in the United States, and the provincial bird of New Brunswick in Canada. It is well known for its capability 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).
I have to add that this little bird is also well known and very present in Quebec, Canada. There it is known as a 'mésange à tête noire'.
The Internet tells me that it seems to be family of the 'koolmeesje' in Belgium and the Netherlands, a Paridae chickadee, but which looks, in my opinion, different than the black-capped chickadee
