For weeks there were no chickadees or nuthatches , then all the sudden six new little ones and two new nuthatches. Skinny and scruffy looking, but definitely making a go of it.










The keeper

They look wet!
I've noticed an uptick of nuthatches at the feeder, I presume they're starting to stash nuts and seeds for the winter. The sunflowers are bearing seeds now, so it makes sense. We'll see young goldfinches soon too.

We are still waiting for the little Goldfinches.

These guys all come to the feeder at the same time and then stay there. Completely different behaviour from the adult birds.
