Chickadee needlepoint patterns

A black-capped chickadee, or a pair, perched in profile, in most on a twig: a small, round, large-headed bird with a dark cap down to the eye.

It is drawn in several styles. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and many can be made as a round ornament. Dark and pale patches sit side by side on this bird, so keep the edges between them crisp by counting each patch.
