Tove M. 1980. First Evidence of Nesting for the Black-capped Chickadee from North Carolina. The Chat. 44:1-4
ABSTRACT: The Black-capped Chickadee has long been known to breed in the southern Appalachian Mountains, but positive evidence of nesting within North Carolina has not been published. This paper offers evidence of breeding in the state. A preflight bird was banded and photographed. Sonagrams from recordings of the vocalizations of the young bird and its parents are compared with those of known Carolina and Black-capped Chickadees.
