What's a chickadee?
Chickadees are little round songbirds in the genus Poecile. They live in forests, parks, and backyards across North America — and they're famous for being curious, clever, and astonishingly tough through winter. Here are a few favorites to get you started.

The whole family
Nature made one perfect little bird… then released it in seven editions. Learn the field marks and you'll know which one just landed at your feeder.
Out in the field
