More Americans die each year from bee stings (50 to 100) than from bears (about one every other year). When bears do attack people, it's usually out of defense and territoriality.
Remarks The song of this species is an emphatic fitz-bew, quite different from the wee-bee-o of the Alder Flycatcher. Willow Flycatchers are perhaps impossible to distinguish with certainty from Alder Flycatchers on appearance alone.
fee bee! No, I haven't gone batty; this is just the way a Black capped Chickadee would probably sing its tune for you! The Black capped Chickadees are happy and carefree visitors, which are found amongst the woodlands.
They are often the flycatcher that takes the highest snag as a hunting perch, from which they fly out up to 50 feet to snatch their preferred prey, a bee or wasp. And we all know the easily recognized song, a pretty whistled "quick THREE BEERS".
Its call is a clear chick-a-dee-dee-dee or dee-dee-dee or a whistled fee-bee, the first note is higher. Chickadees are a constant visitor to feeding stations, often feeding upside down.
For some reason, this thrilled the local bee population. Perhaps there were yummy minerals in the forest clay that the bees couldn't find around the lodge.
During the mating season (December to late April in Yap), mantas gather in large numbers and several males can bee seen courting single females. The actual mating is done belly-to-belly.
They eat carrion, bee's nests, insects, invertibrates, small vertibrates, and fruit. They have been known to kill domestic livestock, but to what degree they exhibit this predation is not known.
More people die each year from bee stings than die from being bit by rattle and other venomous snakes. But all other snakes are not venomous.
