MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: ROUND ONE: COMMON LOON vs. BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEE

IN THE BLUE CORNER, we have the master of the waves, the king of the lake, the COMMON LOON!

this bird is a true lunatic. this bird is a true master of the water, and his haunting calls can be heard echoing across the lakes and ponds of north america. this is a fierce competitor that always gives 110% in the ring. get ready for some aquatic action, folks, because the common loon is about to take flight and deliver some serious punishment to its opponent.

IN THE RED CORNER, we have the high-energy, high-flying, and high-pitched wrestler, the black capped chickadee!

this cold-weather bruiser is well loved among backyard birders for its charming chirps and its boldness around humans - excited fans report being able to feed chickadees by hand. this little dynamo's calls are highly complex, able to communicate different types of information to members of its flock. most well-known is the "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" call that gives this wrestler its name. it sounds simple, but this call has been the subject of research since the 1970s due to its complexity. this call can be arranged in different patterns to communicate information about threats from predators and coordinate group movements. watch out, because the black capped chickadee is one fierce competitor that won't back down from any challenge.

Remember to read about the contestants before voting!

Eurasian Hoopoe

The Eurasian Hoopoe, with its crown of feathers, loves to sunbathe and take dust baths too. The males often battle, stabbing at one another with their beaks. They are considered sacred in Ancient Egypt, although in some other countries they are also seen as harbingers of death. In order to protect themselves, chicks will often shoot fecal matter at any predators trying to get into their nests. They’re surprisingly accurate. Learn More!

Black Capped Chickadee

Another common backyard bird, the Black Capped Chickadee actually has a hierarchy in the winter similar to what we thought the wolf had. They basically have a “pecking” order (pun intended), where some individuals’ foraging and behaviors will differ depending on where they are in the hierarchy. They are very brazen with humans, flying up to and eating straight from people’s hands. Learn More!
