Chickadee's were first discovered by the Europeans in the mid
1700's. It was more than a century latter that Audubon discovered
two distinct species; the Carolina Chickadee and the Black-capped
Chickadee. The Carolina Chickadee is very similar to it's northern
cousin but the feathers of it's folded wind usually show less white
edging. They are best identified by voice and range.
They sing chickadee-dee-dee-dee faster and with a higher pitch
than that of the Black-capped Chickadee.
Carolina Chickadees are resident from southeastern Kansas and central
New Jersey south to Texas, the Gulf Coast and central Florida. It's
habitat includes deciduous woodlands and residential areas. It is a
familiar visitor to feeders.
