Colouring, Length, and Weight:
The black-capped chickadee is a small bird with a size of 13-15cm in length (tip to tail), and a wingspan around 16-21cm. Given by its name, the chickadee has a black cap, followed by a black bib and white cheeks. Its bill is small and slim, and its upper parts are grey. The underparts are white with light buff sides, and its legs are dark in colour. Its weight ranges from 9-14g.
Call/Song:
The call is an easily recognizable "chick-a-dee-dee-dee-dee," while its song sounds something along the lines of a whistled "cheesebur-ger."
Habitat:
They can be found anywhere from deciduous and mixed forests, to riparian woodlands, urban areas, willow thickets and groves, and your backyard feeder(s). They are seen year-round almost all over Canada and the USA.
Nesting:
Nests are either in a natural cavity or old woodpecker hole, or they will make their own cavity in old, rotting wood. They will also use a birdhouse/nest box if one is available. The nests are built by the female and are typically made up of moss, grass, cocoons, and feathers/fur.
Eggs and Young:
6-8 eggs are laid and incubated for up to 13 days. The eggs are white in colour with reddish-brown speckles concentrated near the base of the egg. During the incubation period, the male will bring food to the female. When the eggs hatch, the male will still bring food to both the chicks and the mother before both parents eventually go out together and gather food. Sixteen days later, the young leave the nest.
Diet:
They are foragers, gleaning vegetation from branches, sometimes hanging upside down to get their meal. Food mostly consists of berries, insects and seeds, with the diet varying during the season.
Similar Species:
Mountain, Boreal, Chestnut-backed, and Carolina chickadees.

Yes. All birds are.
Chickadees are non migratory, and form small flocks in the winter with other small birds like downy woodpeckers, and roam the woods in search of food. Very common at feeders.
