In the long winter this gray capped hardy little bird frequents camps of northern trappers. Altho slightly larger than the Acadian Chickadee, its habits and mannerisms are not essentially different.
Northern North America. Breeds in Hudsonian and Canadian zones from Kowak valley, Alaska, and tree limit in central Mackenzie from Keewatin, south to southern British Columbia, central Alberta (casually, Montana), northern Manitoba, central Ontario and Ungava. In winter, casually south to northern Illinois.
