These two fellows showed up in the yard today where a feeding frenzy was going 
on. It may have been the change in the weather with a few fine snow flurries 
blowing around that brought it on. 

This Red-breasted Nuthatch when not on the suet feeder made trip after trip to 
the sunflower seed feeder. It would take the seeds and cache them in the bark 
of nearby trees. I wonder if birds and animals later remember where they hide 
food. 




I looked out of the kitchen window to see this Cooper's Hawk sitting on the 
ground just a few feet from the window. I had to photograph it through the 
glass since opening the window would have scared it away. It had probably tried 
for a bird at the feeder and missed. It sat for a few moments before taking to 
the air.
