The bold little chickadee is a welcome sight at any feeder.
Black-capped Chickadee Calls
A sound I dearly love... the Fee-Bee call of the Black Capped Chickadee! I woke up to this call seemingly every morning at my childhood home! Everywhere I’ve ever lived, I’m 61 years old, I have been so appreciative to be greeted with this call until a house I moved into a year ago where I still hear it but rarely! I truly miss hearing it and being taken back in my thoughts to quiet early mornings in my childhood bedroom. I keep listening for it none-the-less and appreciate being able to hear it here when I can’t otherwise. It is music to my ears!
I heard this bird outside my window last night, in early May. I live in Sacramento, CA
I’ve been hearing this bird all my life and now I know who it is! Live in north eastern NJ. My dad would whistle just like it☺️
They are not only quite common in Western NY, but they will land and feed from my hand when I'm filling the feeder.

We have chickadees year round. Love watching them flutter around and hearing them. Never get tired of it. Live in Northern Ontario
When I was young, my mom told me that the chickadees often called 'Hi, sweetie!' We used to love being outside and hearing them call to us before landing on our outstretched hands to get the offered sunflower seeds.
I always wait to hear these birds every spring living near Vancouver, British Columbia. My mom always made fun of me for whistling to them, but they always call back if they're in the area.
What a clear sound! My dad taught me this bird first as a child. I put up two chickadee nest boxes this year but so far no nesting birds. We do get visitors to the yard, though, and I am methodically trying to build bird friendly habitat: thickets, seed bearing flowers, etc. Totally enchanted! Thank you!!
What a lovely idea, Barbara! We are excited to hear about the bird habitat progresses!
The chickadee has long been one of my favorite birds. Their singing makes me happy and smile. Living in Minnesota, we are lucky to hear them year-round.
