On the Hunt for Boreal Chickadees

Its early morning in the Bronx and the car alarms are singing below in a chorus accompanied by sirens from the nearby hospital and percussion from the construction work.  Its 8:30 am, which is early for me.

I am getting ready to leave for Wisconsin.  Its my dad’s birthday this month, and we are going birdwatching in northern Wisconsin in the hopes of finding the ever-elusive Boreal Chickadee.  The range of the Boreal Chickadee is restricted to the boreal (northern) coniferous forests.  I have just realized that both northern Wisconsin and the Adirondacks in New York constitute the southern-most parts of its range.  So if I don’t see them on this trip, I can look for them when i get home!
