Chickadee

Happy April Fools Day! You may have seen this bird before—the chickadee. Their call relates to their name with a shrill "chicka-dee-dee-dee"! They are a small, backyard bird that comes to feeders to eat thistle, and other small seeds. They are similar to the dark-eye junco yet even smaller.
Chickadees can be easily identified by their black cap with the white stripe.
