About the Carolina Chickadee
The Carolina Chickadee is a small, active bird native to the southeastern United States. Often found in deciduous forests, wooded suburbs, and parks, it’s known for its cheerful “chick-a-dee-dee” call and acrobatic foraging style. Though similar in appearance to the Black-capped Chickadee, the Carolina species is slightly smaller and tends to stay in milder climates. These birds nest in cavities and are monogamous, often returning to the same territories year after year. Their adaptability and social nature make them a favorite among backyard birdwatchers and a symbol of quiet resilience in changing landscapes.
