Carolina Chickadee

Description:

"These birds hop along tree branches searching for food, sometimes hanging upside down or hovering; they may make short flights to catch insects in the air. Insects form a large part of their diet, especially in summer; seeds and berries become important in winter. They sometimes hammer seeds on a tree or shrub to open them; they also will store seeds for later use."

Notes:

I woke up and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground. I headed to the bird feeders and they were under siege! The woodpecker on the suet, the chicadees, nuthatches and titmice on the tube, junco's on the ground, and the squirrels at their feeder! IT WAS INSANE!
