Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapilla)
Length 5.25 inches, Wing Span 8 inches, Weight 0.39 oz (11g)
Common and widespread in any wooded area. Small groups may associate with other small songbirds such as kinglets, warblers, nuthatches, creepers, and titmice. Feeds on seeds, insects, and spiders. Voice: Song a simple, high, clear, whistled fee-beeyee with second part lower than first. Call the familiar chattering chickadee dee dee.
Range: From Alaska east to Newfoundland, and south to northern California, northern New Mexico, Missouri, and northern New Jersey. Winters south to Maryland and Texas.
The bird feeder in the last pictures is why there are so many around here… that’s one of eight feeders in the backyard.
