Baby Birdorable: Black-capped Chickadee

April 30, 2010 in Baby Birds with 2 comments

If you think our Birdorable birds are cute as adults, what about when they are babies? Below are some baby photos (shared via Flickr) of the Black-capped Chickadee. Black-capped Chickadees nest in tree cavities. They will also use nest boxes to raise their young, which occurs during nesting season typically from May through June. While both parents will excavate the nest cavity, only the female constructs the nest, where she alone will eventually incubate typically 6-8 eggs for 12-13 days. The babies leave the nest after about 16 days. Check out these cuties!
