1:00 AM – We put out a new cylinder of compressed seeds, replacing the old one, which had been well pecked and chewed. Here are three birds, trying it out. The White Breasted Nuthatch, eating upside down, a Downy Woodpecker, and a Finch.

And here are some Finches, including one that flings the bigger pieces around. I admire that kind of spirit in a Finch.
