It's true that the range of Mexican Chickadee in the U.S. is very limited, but a lot of serious birders go there. Yes, definitely not possibly extinct. Gray-headed Chickadee’s range in North America is remote, but the population is likely quite stable. Their numbers are declining in Europe, however. From what I understand, little is known about their population in Russia. Mexican Chickadee has a small range within U.S. boundaries, primarily confined to the Chiricahuas in SE Arizona. I’ve dipped on them in a snowstorm in December. Need to head back in the spring or summer. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a method for linking and embedding from Macaulay without degradation but I can't find the relevant post that explains that method. I think it involves opening the Macaulay photo in it's own window and then copying the URL and pasting it into the "Insert image from URL" option in the "Other Media" dropdown in the bottom right of the message box. I don't use eBird and have never tried the URL method, so don't be surprised if it's not as simple as I think it might be. That's what I was doing. For some reason it doesn't work on this computer, but it works fine on my old one. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The correct term would be extirpated not extinct, but I suppose you could use locally extinct. Even if they were extirpated, I’d still assume vagrants would make there way over every now and then. I’ve seen 5/7 of the chickadees, but only have pictures of 4, yet Mountain and Black-capped are the only species that I have good photos of. Hope to get better photos of Boreal's in the coming weeks, but they’re a lot more inconspicuous. Black-capped Mountain 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdNrd Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Only seen Chestnut-backed and Mountain. Sad I have better pictures of Mountain than Chestnut-backed though. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, sorry about that, for some reason I thought they were probably extinct here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, sorry about that, for some reason I thought they were probably extinct here. Just a little piece of unsolicited nomenclature advice here; the term for a population of a species that is no longer found in a given area is “extirpated,” not extinct. Extirpated essentially means “locally extinct,” but to avoid confusion ecologists and biologists typically use the term “extirpated,” and leave the term “extinct” to note when an entire species population, all across the globe, in any and all areas, is permanently gone (i.e. Great Auk, Passenger Pigeon, Carolina Parakeet, Bachman’s Warbler). 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Summers Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 This made me have to think about what Chickadees I've seen. Then I had to choose 2 of the 4 ? Carolina Chickadee and Chestnut-backed Chickadee 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! That's good to know. Now if I can only remember what word it is and how to spell it, next time I need "extirpated". ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, little is known about their population in Russia. This. They probably have a stable population. It’s just that the area they live in is so remote, that very few people actually go to that area to see them. Therefore, they are probably very underreported. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
