Black-capped Chickadee
Poecile atricapillus
A small, active songbird of northern forests, woodlots, parks, and backyard feeders across much of North America. It feeds on insects, spiders, seeds, and berries, often storing food in bark crevices for later use. Black-capped Chickadees are agile fliers that flit through branches and hang upside down while foraging. Their well-known chick-a-dee call can carry information about nearby threats.
