 | Pygmy nuthatch make everyday appearances at the upside-down suet feeder. When I hang it in the tree in the morning, there's usually a little line of them forming already to jump on it. |
Chestnut-backed chickadees are usually waiting, too, for the feeders to go up in the morning.
Backyard Anna's hummer
