Field Notes
Description:
John James Audubon named this bird while he was in South Carolina. The curious, intelligent Carolina Chickadee looks very much like a Black-capped Chickadee, with a black cap, black bib, gray wings and back, and whitish underside. Carolina and Black-capped chickadees hybridize in the area where their ranges overlap, but the two species probably diverged more than 250,000 years ago. (From eBird www.allaboutbirds.org)
Habitat:
Forested areas or urban and suburban yards or parks with large trees.
