Description
"The Carolina chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) is a small passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. Carolina chickadees are able to lower their body temperatures to induce an intentional state of hypothermia called torpor. They do this to conserve energy during extremely cold winters. In extremely cold weather conditions they look for cavities where they can hide in and spend up to fifteen hours at a time in torpor; during this time they are awake but unresponsive; they should not be picked up and handled at this time, as the stress of being held may cause their death."

I watched these birds as one of them was excavating
the cavity in a piece of wood.
