Mexican Chickadee

The Mexican Chickadee is a small songbird, a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is still often placed in the genus Parus with most other tits, but mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data and morphology suggest that separating Poecile more adequately expresses these birds' relationships . The American Ornithologists' Union had been treating Poecile as distinct genus for some time already.

The Mexican Chickadee is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

are available for the Mexican Chickadee, and more information is needed on all aspects of its biology. The distribution of the Mexican Chickadee in the U.S. is restricted to the higher elevations of two mountain ranges (one in Arizona, the other in New Mexico), although the species is broadly distributed in the mountains of Mexico. An insectivore, it prefers montane coniferous forests, except in the southern part of its range in Mexico where it also occurs in oak-pine. More

The general call repertoire of the Mexican Chickadee is similar to other chickadees however, the "chick-a-dee" call of the Mexican Chickadee is very different in acoustic structure from calls of other members of its species group. Other differences in acoustic structure may be due to the linkage, rather than independent evolution of certain calls. = Department of Biological Sciences University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201 USA REPERTORIO VOCAL DE PARUS SCLATERI I.

The Mexican Chickadee (Poecile sclateri) is a small songbird, a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is still often placed in the genus Parus with most other tits, but mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data and morphology suggest that separating Poecile more adequately expresses these birds' relationships (Gill et al., 2005). The American Ornithologists' Union had been treating Poecile as distinct genus for some time already. Adults are 12.5–13. More

The Mexican Chickadee has a large range, estimated globally at 200,000 square kilometers. Native to the United States and Mexico, this bird prefers subtropical or tropical forest and shrubland ecosystems. The global population of this bird is estimated at 500,000 to 5,000,000 individuals and does not show signs of decline that would necessitate inclusion on the IUCN Red List. For this reason, the current evaluation status of the Mexican Chickadee is Least Concern. More

, the Mexican Chickadee is restricted to the higher elevations of two mountain ranges—the Chiricahuas in Arizona, and the Animas in New Mexico. However, the species is common and broadly distributed in the mountain forests over much of Mexico. Habitat: This bird prefers coniferous mountain forests, except in the southern part of its range in Mexico where it also occurs in oak-pine forests. More

Mexican Chickadee: Resident in extreme southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico; also in Mexico. Preferred habitats include coniferous or pine-oak forests at high altitudes. Breeding and Nesting Mexican Chickadee: Five to eight white eggs with red-brown spots are laid in a nest made of fine grass, bark strips, moss, and plant down, lined with animal fur, and built from 5 to 45 feet above the ground in a snag or tree.

Chickadee and Mountain Chickadee, the Mexican Chickadee can be distinguished by its longer black bib, which extends from its chin down onto its upper breast. A whitish band below the bib extends down the center of the belly. It is a permanent resident of wooded highlands in western, central and northeastern Mexico, the range extends north into extreme southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Although primarily nonmigratory, Mexican Chickadees sometimes fly to lower elevations during the cold of winter. More

Description Adults of both sexes have a black cap, white cheeks, and a short black bill. Their backs and flanks are gray and they have paler grayish underparts. More

The Mexican Chickadee's song is distinct from other chickadees; it is a complex burry trilled whistle of chischu-wur and a rich cheelee. They travel in pairs or small groups, and may join multi-species feeding flocks. The nest is constructed by the female in a snag or tree cavity up to 18 m above the ground, and consists of grasses, moss, strips of bark, and is lined with animal fur. More

Mexican Chickadee is a Mexican forest species present in the state only in the Animas Mountains. It is considered vulnerable in New Mexico because of its small population size and restricted distribution. More
