Published in 1918, 'The Subspecies of the Mountain Chickadee' by Joseph Grinnell is a scientific study focused on the taxonomic classification of the Mountain Chickadee, a bird species native to North America. Grinnell investigates four recognized subspecies—Rocky Mountain, Inyo Mountain, Short-tailed Mountain, and Bailey Mountain Chickadees—based on their distinct physical characteristics and geographical distributions. This work is notable for its detailed fieldwork in eastern California and its contribution to understanding avian biodiversity and taxonomy.
