David's Images of the Day Photoblog
It snowed today. We got about an inch. Lots of birds at the bird feeder. Some getting feisty or territorial because it was snowing.

Other than some tiny birds that can get into this bird feeder, the Red-bellied Woodpecker has a long enough beak to reach the sunflower seeds. It then has to take the sunflower seed to a tree to break it open. I seems that only the Cardinals and Finches can open sunflower seeds directly in their beak.

Northern Cardinal, Dark-eyed Junco, and Marsh Wren. The Marsh Wren isn’t able to open sunflower seeds. Instead, its beak is more suited to go after the suet.

Blue Jay and Squirrel. It is cold out, and the bird bath is still frozen for the squirrel to walk across.
