[birdky] FOS-BEHAVIOR

First kingbird of the season hung around the pond and seemed oblivious to all 
the purple martin activity.  Earlier this week, we had our first chippies back, 
and just as I focused in on one in the grass, he hopped up beside a tall 
dandelion seed head (puff ball), took 3 or 4 quick hops to his left, right up 
the stem, riding it over to the ground and proceeded to have lunch!  I don't 
know why, but it it just tickled me immensely to see this bit of ingenuity!  
Isn't Spring Great?!
