Mexican Chickadee
The Mexican Chickadee is almost entirely restricted to Mexico–it just creeps across the United States border into parts of southern Arizona and New Mexico. It prefers montane coniferous forests and is usually not found below 5,000 feet. Mexican Chickadees have a peculiar habit of crushing insects and daubing them on the outside of their nest cavities near the entrance hole, presumably to deter predators. The Mexican Chickadee is the only chickadee with a long bib and gray flanks.
