There are seven species of chickadees in North America, five of these can be found in Canada. They are the Black-capped Chickadee, Boreal Chickadee, Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Gray-headed Chickadee and Mountain Chickadee. The Carolina Chickadee can be found in the south-eastern regions of the United States and the Mexican Chickadee can only be found near the borders of the southern United States and into Mexico.

Chickadees are widespread throughout North America, with some species much more common than others. Found mostly in forests, chickadees are not a migratory bird as such, but they will migrate short distances in search of a food supply. Always friendly birds and most types will come to birdfeeders, if they like the kinds of food being offered.
