BLACK-CAPPED
CHICKADEE
This
chickadee is a resident in our yards the year around. Because
of their delightful notes, their flitting ways, and friendliness,
they are one of our best known birds. They come to our feeders,
suet cakes and peanut butter logs. Often they become tame
enough to eat from your hand.
Chickadees
seem to always be in an awful hurry, scurrying from tree
branch to tree branch. They, too, have acrobatic skills,
often hanging upside down or in awkward positions. Their
black caps and contrasting white cheeks make identification
easy.
