iN PHOTOS: Chickadees cheer up cold winter months in Kamloops, Okanagan

Residents in Kamloops and the Okanagan are seeing busy little chickadees flitting around feeders and snacking on suet, and the songbirds can be fun to watch and hear.  The birds don’t migrate in the colder months, they cache food, roost in cavities and go into a regulated hypothermia to survive, and they have to eat their own body weight in food every day.  BC is home to four types of the busy little birds: black-capped, chestnut-backed, mountain and boreal, according to Bird Advisors. https://www.birdadvisors.com/chickadees-british-columbia/ The birds are known for their distinctive song that sounds like 'fee-bee.' Photographers have captured the birds on camera which seems like a tricky thing to do as chickadees are always on the move looking for food.  If you snapped some photos of chickadees this winter and want to share, send them to news@infonews.ca. mailto:news@infonews.ca To contact a reporter for this story, email Shannon Ainslie mailto:sainslie@infonews.ca  or call 250-819-6089 or email the editor mailto:news@infonews.ca .
