Birds of California

  • Chestnut-backed Chickadee Poecile rufescens

    A fast, hoarse tsick-a-zee-zee, buzzier and higher than other chickadees.

  • Oak Titmouse Baeolophus inornatus

    A whistled peter-peter and a scratchy scolding chatter.

  • Mountain Chickadee Poecile gambeli

    A hoarse chick-a-dee-dee-dee and a clear, falling fee-bee-bee whistle.

Birds of England

  • Eurasian Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus

    A bright 'tsee-tsee-tsu-hu-hu-hu' ending in a fast trill; scolding churrs at the feeder.

  • Great Tit Parus major

    A loud, ringing 'teacher-teacher' see-saw, plus a huge range of chinks and churrs.

  • Coal Tit Periparus ater

    A fast, high 'pitchoo-pitchoo-pitchoo', thinner and quicker than a Great Tit's song.

Birds of the Pacific Northwest

  • Black-capped Chickadee Poecile atricapillus

    A buzzy chick-a-dee-dee-dee, and in late winter a clear, whistled fee-bee that falls in pitch.

Birds of Eastern North America

  • Tufted Titmouse Baeolophus bicolor

    A loud, whistled peter-peter-peter, repeated from treetops all year.
