The Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis) is a species of chickadee that is native to North America, primarily in the southeastern United States. It is a small bird that is known for its distinctive “chick-a-dee-dee-dee” call and its ability to store food in the winter. These birds are common backyard visitors and feed on insects, seeds, and suet. They are also known for their acrobatic skills, as they are able to cling to branches and hang upside down while foraging for food.
I photographed this Carolina Chickadee With Caterpillar for its young at my place in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas.
I had a pair of Carolina Chickadees nest in one of my nest boxes this spring. This birdhouse is near my driveway and when I drove by I noticed this Carolina Chickadee fledgling looking out. I parked and got this photo. I can see this birdhouse from inside my house and I knew this fledgling would leave the nest soon. About 30 minutes later, I saw it fly to a nearby tree. I could hear the parents nearby. Later on I noticed another fledgling leave the nest. I’m not sure how many were in the birdhouse.
