This Black-capped Chickadee and Baby carving was hand-crafted from solid Basswood.
The black-capped chickadee range includes Canada the U.S. including Alaska. Although very similar in appearance to the Carolina Chickadee, there are distinct coloring differences, more noticeable in winter plumage. Although the ranges of the two species barely overlap, occasional weather fluctuations will tend to push the Black-Capped Chickadees further south. Where breeding ranges overlap, the two species will have been known to hybridize.
