Mountain Chickadee

Poecile gambeli

Description:

The Mountain Chickadee is a small songbird. They are known colloquially as Cheeseburger Birds, as their call sounds like they are saying "cheese-bur-ger."

Habitat:

Common inhabitants of the mountainous regions of the western United States, their range extends from the southern Yukon to California and Rocky Mountain States in the United States. A few Mountain Chickadees may migrate locally up the mountains in the summer and down into the mountain foothills in the winter. I saw this one in Bryce canyonon a pine tree.
