Morning Bird Pic

Sorry to take three days to lead up to a bad visual joke, but that's how this warped mind works. Yesterday, I saw actual strange behavior on the feeder. A tufted titmouse would perch on one of the curved steel rods that hold up the feeder, dart down to one of the tubes and grab a seed, then return to the steel rod and hammer the seed on the rod a few times, almost like a woodpecker. Don't know if it was finding the seeds a bit too hard to crack or what. Odd...

Here's the guilty titmouse, with another picture showing him in the process of hammering.

And afterward, he'd do something else, but we'll leave that for tomorrow.
