Wheezer's Notes: The chickadee is the cutest bird in the bunch. Their small, fluffy bodies and shy, humble disposition make them the favorite of many. Chickadees will frequent a feeder stocked with sunflower seeds. They don't stay long at each visit so watch carefully.The Black Capped Chickadee is the state bird for the States of Maine and Massachusetts. |
A Poem: "The North wind is cold, as cold as can be
but I'm not afraid," said the chickadee. The chickadee stays to see the snow and loves to hear the North wind blow.
