The Black-Capped Chickadee: Behavioral Ecology and Natural History

By Susan M. Smith

Book Overview

This book is the first comprehensive synthesis of published information about this tiny, tough bird, with special attention given to such close relatives as the Carolina Chickadee and the European Willow Tit. Drawing on many of her own observations, Susan M. Smith covers common study techniques, diet and foraging, communication and displays, and the birds' annual cycle in terms of ecology and social behavior.
