Feeding mountain chickadees
Pine nuts are their favorite.
The last several times I've been up here, I didn't see any chickadees at the top on the ridge. But I always find them down here near the northern base of the ridge. If you hear them you stop walking and look around and if you see a few you reach for the pine nuts and almost the moment the nuts come out the chickadees are mobbing you.
They really don't get along with each other. It is rare for more than one of them to share my hand.
