Winter's For the Birds

Look! Up in the Sky! Is it a cardinal? Is it a starling? 

 No! It's a black-capped chickadee! Not all birds fly 

 south for the winter, and the ones that stay can use 

 your help. Make a pine cone bird feeder for Chicago 



area winter residents. Do a quiz in our Bird Habitats 

 exhibit and find out how our flying friends survive the 

 season. Get a Field Museum Field Guide to Area Birds 

 to help you identify what you see. Take home a bird 

 mobile to have a bird of your own in flight year round.
