Willow Tit
Poecile montanus (Conrad von Baldenstein, 1827)
Paridae — Tits, Chickadees
Willow Tit, Poecile montanus, is a passerine in the tit family, Paridae, found across the Palearctic, where it breeds widely. It is a resident bird and most individuals stay put rather than moving away. Its plumage is grey-brown and off-white, with a dark cap and bib, and it is closely tied to conifer woods, which helps explain why it breeds farther north than Marsh Tit. The species was described in 1827 by Conrad von Baldenstein.
