Birds of Kentucky: Black-capped chickadee

2018-11-24 - Nelson Co., KY - Photo by Bill Badgett
Wikipedia has this to say about the black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus): "It is well known for its capability to lower its body temperature during cold winter nights as well as its good spatial memory to relocate the caches where it stores food, and its boldness near humans (sometimes feeding from the hand)."
