I am from New York but my parents live in Bethesda.  I have seen and heard
both Black-capped and Carolina Chickadees in their yard, at various times.
Their yard is the only place I have ever encountered Carolinas, but the song
was completely unambiguous and diagnostic.

If you ever get to Long Island, go to Morton NWR in Noyac on the East End
South Fork.  The Black-capped Chickadees EAT OUT OF YOUR HAND there.  They
strafe you until you stand still with your hand out with sunflower, then
land on your hand and critique the seed.  "Not this one" (flick) "not that
one" (flick).  I had one connoisseur who only accepted the FIFTH seed he
chose.
