It would seem, then, that the "Acadian Chickadee" has not been =20
synonymized and is still a valid subspecies. I took a quick look on =20
the "Internet Bird Collection":
http://ibc.lynxeds.com/species/boreal-chickadee-poecile-hudsonicus
Which indicates the following five subspecies
=95 stoneyi (Ridgway, 1887) - NW USA (NC Alaska) and NW Canada.
=95 columbianus (Rhoads, 1893) - S Alaska and adjacent W Canada, =
S in =20
NW USA to N Washington.
=95 hudsonicus (J. R. Forster, 1772) - C Alaska E to E Canada (E =
to =20
Labrador and Newfoundland).
=95 farleyi (Godfrey, 1951) - SC Canada (E British Columbia E to =
C =20
Manitoba).
=95 littoralis (H. Bryant, 1865) - extreme SE Canada (S Quebec E =
to =20
Prince Edward I and Nova Scotia) and
extreme NE USA (E from New York).
Thus, if referring to the subspecies one could certainly still use the =20=
vernacular "Acadian Chickadee".
Cheers!
