I am a Carolina Chickadee
I have a black cap and bright white cheeks.
I can live anywhere from forests to city parks,
As long as there are large trees.

I'm a Carolina Chickadee
I have white cheeks and I wear a black cap.
I've been known to hybridize with Black-cap Chickadees,
Where our ranges overlap.
