The Siberian Tit, Parus cinctus or Poecile cincta, is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread resident breeder throughout subarctic Scandinavia and northern Asia, and also into North America in Alaska and the far northwest of Canada. It is a conifer specialist. It is resident, and most birds do not migrate.
Taxonomic note: Most authorities retain Poecile as a subgenus within a broader view of the genus Parus, but the American Ornithologists' Union treats Poecile as a distinct genus. In North America, the A.O.U. has also recently re-named the species Gray-headed Chickadee. Image:Siberian Tit Parus Cinctus 2006 03 07.JPGTemplate:Bird-stub
