Bird of the Day - Black-capped Chickadee

 The Bird of the Day is the black-capped chickadee.  It is one of the most common year-round birds in Minnesota.  The only other chickadee in Minnesota is the much rarer boreal chickadee, which has a brown cap.
 Black-capped chickadees sing their own name, "chick-a-dee-dee-dee."  They also sing a two-toned "fee-bee" call mainly in the spring.
