What do Black-capped Chickadees eat?

Photos by BarrytheBirder

Black-capped Chickadees (Parus atricapillus) are quite common at backyard birdfeeders in southern Canada and in the northern United States, eating a wide assortment of seeds and nuts, including walnuts and peanuts, plus even some insect material.   They will also eat from the human hand (see above).  But as seen below, they are also to be found eagerly eating at suet feeders, especially in cold winter months.

Please comment if you wish.
