Learn more about chickadees, especially Mountain Chickadees, by viewing a previously recorded webinar provided by Cornell’s Bird Academy.

Learn how Mountain Chickadees remember where they hide seeds and how they survive harsh winter weather by tuning in to a free Bird Academy webinar. Chickadees hide tens of thousands of seeds to see them through harsh winters, deep snow, and subzero temperatures. But how does a tiny bird weighing only ½ ounce remember where they’ve cached each item of food? Join researchers Dr. Carrie Branch and Benjamin Sonnenberg as they reveal how Mountain Chickadees survive into springtime with the help of cached food, and much more.

Provided online as part of the Bird Academy’s webinar series, this is a great opportunity to learn more about some of our favorite winter birds. You can access the webinar at How Chickadees Use Their Brains to Hide Seeds and Survive Harsh Winters | Bird Academy • The Cornell Lab (allaboutbirds.org)
