Description
If this guy looks like he’s deep in concentration it’s because Chickadees are known to have an incredible memory. They hide thousands of food items in different locations and successfully retrieve most of it.
Carolina chickadees, not the black-capped variety, are the most common in North Georgia and are a little over 4 inches in length. They are the smallest of the North American chickadees.
The high-pitched call of the Chickadees is what gave them their name. ”Chick-a-dee-dee-dee” is their signature song.
They build their nests in burrowed or abandoned cavities in trees, using feathers and fine grass. In a pinch, they don’t mind living in birdhouses.
Carolina chickadees are so similar to black-capped chickadees that they sometimes can’t tell each other apart, and end up mating―giving birth to hybrids as a result.
Their favorite way to catch insects is to hang upside down on a branch or tree (like a bat) and fly out to catch a bug passing close by.
