The Black-capped Chickadee is a beloved and ubiquitous songbird of North America, recognized by its namesake black cap and bib, white cheeks, and a distinctive 'chick-a-dee-dee-dee' call. It is highly adaptable.
Where to spot
Widespread across the northern United States and Canada, found in deciduous and mixed forests, woodlands, parks, and suburban areas.
How to spot
Look for their constant movement in trees and shrubs, often in mixed flocks. Listen for their diagnostic 'chick-a-dee-dee-dee' and a clear, two-note 'fee-bee' song. They are often quite tame at feeders.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, particularly mornings.

Black-capped Chickadees can lower their body temperature by 10-12 degrees Celsius on cold nights to conserve energy, entering a state of regulated hypothermia (torpor).
