yesterday the Birdseed Café finally had its grand opening for the 2015/2016 season...customers flocked to the premises...a hummer quickly checked it out, sparrows were interested, pine siskins tried to settle in at the eatery, but none could out-manoeuvre the swift and spry chickadees, who were first to sample the buffet

this Black-Capped Chickadee has snapped up a millet seed, and a few others ambitiously made off with sunflower seeds that were bigger than their beaks
