Black-capped chickadees usually breed only once a year, but second broods are possible if the first one is lost. First breeding is at one year of age. Maximum recorded lifespan is 12 years, [58] although most live roughly 2.5 years. [14] Black-capped chickadees may interbreed with Carolina chickadees or mountain chickadees where their ranges ...

The mountain chickadee was formerly placed in the genus Parus with most other tits, but mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data and morphology suggest that separating Poecile more adequately expresses these birds' relationships. [2] Molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that the mountain chickadee is sister to the black-capped chickadee (Poecile ...
