HI,
Yesterday while watching our feeders,I noticed a Chipping S. picking at
something green coming up through the pinestraw. I checked with the
bino's and saw the bird neatly plucking the fuzz out of a pretty tight
dandelion bud. It would pull the fuzz out nibble it's way down to the
seed and snip it off.
Another Chipper soon joined him, they were both chased away by a Song S.
who in turn was driven off by a White T. S. I thought this was neat to
watch. Too bad that was the only dandelion in my yard, ha ha!
