Day 358: These are not all photos of the same individual bird. It might be hard to tell chickadees apart from one another, but there was strong competition for that handful of seed, one landing on my fingers in a flutter of feathers which knocked another one off my palm and into flight. I had accidentally let the feeders go almost empty (the little critters are gobbling as much as two full large coffee cans every day!), so I made a personal offer before loading it up again. They practically swarmed me as the hummingbirds do when I'm trying to replace their sugar-nectar. If there is one good thing to say about 2020, it's that I've made new friends...LOTS of new friends!
