Meet King Township's official bird

The Black-capped Chickadee

The Black-capped Chickadee has been chosen as King Township's official bird after five months of voting last year and over 230 entries, beating out the American Robin, the Cooper's Hawk, the Northern Cardinal and the Pine Warbler.   King  was named a certified Bird Friendly City, the 19th in Canada, in March of last year by Nature Canada.   2024 will feature some exciting bird initiatives and contests this year featuring the Black-capped Chickadee.   The naming contest  was launched on World Migratory Bird Day on May 13 of last year and closed on October 6.
