Black-capped Chickadee

Black-capped Chickadee
The Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) is a small bird species found throughout North America. It has a distinctive black cap and bib on its head, with white cheeks and gray back and wings. They have a short, pointed bill for cracking open seeds and insects, and they are known for their acrobatic feeding style, often hanging upside down on tree branches. Black-capped Chickadees are non-migratory and can be found in a variety of habitats, including deciduous and coniferous forests, suburban parks, and backyards. They have a clear, whistled "fee-bee" call that is often heard throughout the day, and they also have a unique vocalization that sounds like "chickadee-dee-dee". Black-capped Chickadees are known to be curious and friendly, and they are often seen approaching humans who are feeding them. They are a common visitor to backyard bird feeders, where they feed on sunflower seeds and other small seeds.
