Friday Feathers - the unsalted peanut test
I'd read in some bird book that the feathered ones love unsalted peanuts, so I decided to test that theory one day. A handful of peanuts placed in an open area and it wasn't long before the usual suspects (Tufted Titmice and Black-capped Chickadees) showed up.
The Tufted Titmouse in the photograph above kept coming back; it would take a peanut, fly away and repeat the process until all the nuts were gone. From a photography standpoint, the test provided many opportunities to catch the birds as they grabbed a meal or six. And there ya have it. :-)

we used to put them in a bird feeder which would keep the birds pecking away for hours. Yet another superb photo, cinders.
