The Carolina chickadee, Parus Carolinensis, is a small member of the titmouse family, more southerly in distibution than the very similar black capped chickadee. One of the first birds to appear at feeders, they roam the winter woods with tufted titmice and downy woodpeckers in search of food. In areas where their ranges overlap, Carolina chickadees may hybridize with the slightly larger black capped chickadee. Black cappeds are also somewhat browner on the flanks. Other than that, the two are very similar.
