The story of the bird
A small bird, sure of itself. Poecile atricapillus grips a pine sprig, head tilted, bright eye fixed on something just outside the frame. A friendly, unfussy plate that suits a kitchen or breakfast nook, and an easy gift for anyone who feeds birds through winter.

About the bird
The chickadee weighs nine to 14 grams and caches seeds in hundreds of separate hiding places, each one remembered for weeks. Its chick-a-dee-dee-dee call carries information too: extra dee notes at the end warn of a more dangerous predator.
A bird that repays attention. In the tradition of Audubon, for the wall.
