These birds were in our bluebird house this summer and the battle went on between the two off and on. They like our pine trees in our yard as they are near to our bird feeders. These birds are permanent residents, but sometimes they move south within their range, and even outside of it, in the fall or winter. Photographed in North Carolina.
During the winter, chickadees often flock together. Many other species of birds – including titmice, nuthatches, and warblers – can often be found foraging in these flocks. Mixed flocks stay together because the chickadees call out whenever they find a good source of food. This calling-out forms cohesion for the group, allowing the other birds to find food more efficiently. When flocking, black-capped chickadees soon establish a rigid social hierarchy. In such hierarchies, males usually rank over females, and older birds over juveniles.
