Black-capped chickadees (BCCH) are
year-round resident songbirds in North
America and are commonly found at bird
feeders. They are known for being
comfortable around people and for their
developed spatial memory. These factors
may play an important role in the
number of times a BCCH can be
captured and handled by humans. This research project utilizes bird banding data collected by Beaver Creek
Nature Reserve (2007-2016), Fall Creek, WI, to answer the following questions: 1.) Does the frequency of recapture
change with each successive capture? 2.) Does the time interval between successive captures change?
