Peek-A-Boo
This young female Northern Cardinal was enjoying the seed log in peace and quiet, when suddenly a pesky little Brown-headed Nuthatch had the audacity to fly up and start pecking away on the opposite side of the log!
Poor little Cardinal, at first, she wasn't sure what to do about that intruder! She scooted over some, and then plucked up the courage to peek around the to see if that little bird was still there? Well of course it was, but she eventually decided that perhaps sharing with a small bird was OK.
And thus, she learned firsthand about feeder etiquette and sharing.
