I will try and word this another way. Are there Boreal Chickadees at sea
level? If not, does Boreal refer to a certaim alittude and therfore
Chickadees at that altitude are called Boreal Chickadees.

Can you have a Boreal forest at Sea level, or Alpine or sub-Alpine altitude?
I have heard people say they were in a Boreal forest--where were they? Up
high, down low? Or anyplace that Bores are real. :-)) Is this getting
boreing or what?
