The Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy is an alternative phylogenetic arrangement based on DNA-DNA hybridization. Unless otherwise noted, all species listed below are considered to occur regularly in North America as permanent residents, summer or winter residents or visitors, or migrants. The following codes are used to denote certain categories of species:
Mexican chickadee: Poecile sclateri: Mexico Carolina chickadee: Poecile carolinensis: United States from New Jersey west to southern Kansas and south to Florida and Texas Black-capped chickadee: Poecile atricapillus: Across North America, from New England to Newfoundland in the east, and from Washington to Alaska in the west Mountain chickadee ...
