The Black-capped Chickadee is one of North America's most beloved small birds, with its distinctive black cap and bib, white cheeks, and soft grey and buffy plumage. It inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, gardens, and suburban areas across northern North America from Alaska to Newfoundland and south through the Appalachians. It feeds on seeds, insects, and berries, and is well known for caching food for winter.
