[mou-net] Urban Chickadees

[Mark Palas]

I've noticed in the past,  as well as the present,  that My urban  
chickadees show no interest in feeding on suet.  Even though
the suet is a mere 2 feet from my tube feeder,  where they constantly  
feed.  Has anyone else noticed this behavior?  My assumption,  is that  
urban chickadees
are less likely to feed on carcasses,  as do there rural counterparts  
and possibly pass this culture on to their young.  My suet feeders
In Pine county are constantly visited by birds,  my Ramsey county  
feeders seldom if ever.  Any Thoughts?
