    DECEMBER 14,
    2010

    The Black-capped Chickadee's song of �fee-bee� and the Carolina
    Chickadee's �fee-bee, fee-bay� can be heard throughout Greater
    Cleveland, as chickadees are perhaps one of the most common birds
    found at Ohio feeders.  While the Carolina Chickadee is
    slightly smaller and lacks white on its wings, both birds are
    strikingly similar and prefer suet and sunflower seeds.



     



    Get hands-on experiences with the free-flying chickadee in
    Cleveland Metroparks with a wingful of activities this January:

    Visitors, both big and small, can experience the thrill of

    nature center will provide a handful of sunflower seeds and
    instructions, and visitors provide the hand!  Be sure to dress
    for the weather. BrecksvilleNatureCenter is located off Chippewa
    Creek Drive, off the Route 82 entrance of Brecksville Reservation
    in Brecksville.  For details, call 440-526-1012.
