I've just been watching a Bewick's Wren taking small bits of shelled
sunflower seeds from a tube feeder. Chickadees of both species and
Red-breasted Nuthatches visit it all the time, but this is the first
time I've seen the wren. The seed feeder is hanging next to a suet
feeder that one or more wrens use all the time, though. Birds often
learn by observing other birds that there's something of interest (=
edible), and this one decided to try it! It's amazing that no matter
how long you have been a student of Mother Nature, she'll surprise
you again and again.
