Front Feeder Activity

Fabric - 30 count R & R Irish Cream linen
Fibers - unknown (provided with kit)
Started - 5 October 2012
Completed - 7 October 2012

A few days ago as my sister drove up our driveway, a Great-horned owl swooped low over the car and was illuminated in the headlights.  She said it was a thrill! 

Here's what's going on in the front of the house.

I have two peanur feeders and lately it has not been woodpeckers eating there. 

Several Black-capped Chickadees have taken to the feeder.

They grab a peanut and fly away to pick it apart into chickadee-sized bits.

They've been joined by a couple of Chestnut-breasted Nuthatches. 

Nuthatches are such fun to watch.

There's something about stomping around upside down.

And then kindly posing for the camera.

I've also seen a small group of Chestnut-back Chickadees.

They are a bit smaller than Black-capped Chickadees.

And they stay at the feeders longer before departing to eat.
