Black-capped Chickadees hop on trees ( occasionally on the ground), rather than "walking." Pairs have set territories, ranging from 1.5 to 5.3 ha. Most pairs persist together for several years. The black-capped chickadee social system has two extremes, one shown by territorial pairs during the bredding season, and the other consisting of nonbreeding flocks. These flocks are often mixed species flocks, including in them nuthatches, woodpeckers, kinglets, creepers, warblers, and vireos.
