Great shots indeed.....  8)

Gotta love these little goofballs.....today in my yard was no exception.

I have couple of dried sunflower heads left over from the garden.
I put one on top of a bush beside the house for anyone who was interested.
In the same bush a couple of feet away I have a small hanging container that
I throw some sunflower seeds into whenever the Chickadees show up (spelled often)
They take turns picking out seeds and then jump up a couple of branches to eat.
As I was standing beside the bush today, one Chickadee grabbed a seed and
hopped over to the sunflower.....and actually jammed the seed into an empty spot.
I looked closely and it was now "stored" exactly where one had been removed.

OMG......just hilarious...... :lol:

I think we might be in for a bad winter.....  :shock:
