Great pics, as always. I wonder how many of those cached seeds are forgotten
also. I did witness a White-br Nuthatch retrieving seeds once. We don't have
either of these species this morning but yesterday we had several Rusty
Blackbirds, 2 Purple Finch & a few Pine Siskins.

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.
