- Boreal chickadees are widespread across the northern forest, but many people don't know their secrets on how they survive the cold winters. Visit a bunch in northern Maine, enjoy a cooperative black-backed woodpecker, and feed a bunch of Canada jays by hand.

Recently getting myself into birding and loving it, just found your channel and its been very entertaining and informative. Great job, subscribed for sure! Love the content
Thanks. I do it for fun. It's an enjoyable challenge.
Bob,thank you for the book Maine Birding Trail. It is a great guide for me, being from CT. I really appreciate it. I also can’t stand the balloons. If they’re on the ground, they come out w me.
..both work for peanuts…you’re killing it😂🥜. You have the most interesting information, are making it up on the fly(pun intended).
Another great video! Thanks Bob
Great - as usual - Bob! Love the North Maine Woods in March!
Very nice, Bob, thanks!
Awesome Bob!
Reminds me of the Nick Lund joke that Maine doesn't have a state bird. Another great video, Bob.
Yeah, I thought about throwing in that tidbit, but decided I had enough tidbits already.
I saw and heard my first Boreal Chickadee at a feeder in pa
Winter birding in Main is interesting, maybe not that many species, but there are some good ones like Boreal Chickadees. Would be fun to see. I've never seen one. Great video as always. 👍
Excellent video sir
Excellent video!!! We really like the Boreal Chickadees!! Keep them coming👍
Great job! Enjoyed.
Great video, as always. Thank you!
I love the North Woods for canoeing and birding, the Grand Lake Stream and Machias Lakes area is also very good and easier to get to. Shh, don't tell anyone.
It'll be our little secret...for now...
Awesome video as always! There was a Boreal Chickadee seen in my home state of Ohio just a few days ago. Sadly it didn’t stick around for long and I wasn’t able to go see it.
Blue, no green!

I don't know anything about them as there aren't any in the UK! 🙃 Immensely interesting vid, you're very good at this btw & i wish you would post more. Curious how the birds come to the hand without fear, is this because of the lack of humans in the area?
Thanks. Canada jays are just naturally bold, and habituate quickly to humans. Taking food from the hand is something they learn. They're notorious camp robbers and will snatch food right off the picnic table. When I encounter them near established campsites and trailheads, they often approach, expecting a handout. When I find them farther away in the woods, they don't seem to expect me to have food, even when I drop it on the ground.
@@Bob_Duchesne Very refreshing to see a Corvid that doesn't have an ingrained hereditary fear of humans. The Eurasian Jays we have here are ultra shy & won't even show themselves to humans unless you work hard to earn trust. Jays, Magpies & Crows have been persecuted for centuries as nest robbers & shot & poisoned en masse, it's only recently new laws have been brought in to stop the arbitrary killing..
