Does anyone have any funny feeder observations?

I've got a couple of flickers here in Phinney that have been landing on my "squirrel-proof" caged seed feeder, sticking their heads through the grate, and finally, shooting their tongues into the feeder to get at the sunflower seeds. It's amazing how long their tongues are and an interesting little window into their bug feeding behavior.

Feeder birds this morning:

Goldfinch
House Finch
BC Chicadee
Bushtit
Anna's Hummingbird
Fox Sparrow
Bewick's Wren
N. Flicker
