The beautiful little Carolina chickadees (Poecile carolinensis) are probably one of my favorite backyard visitors to my feeders. The closer we get to winter, the more of them will begin to arrive in groups.
These tiny visitors are very common throughout the American Southland, and are not to be confused with their more Northern and Canadian cousins, the black-capped chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) although the two species are known to crossbreed in places where their ranges overlap in North America.
The following are the photos I took of these birds over the first week of October of this year.
