nature's acrobat...

 As you've no doubt figured out from other recent posts, when not rushed to go somewhere, my spouse and I like to dawdle over breakfast coffee and enjoy the antics of the birds.

This morning we had a glorious cardinal and its mate as well as a woodpecker and a tufted titmouse at our feeders.  I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of the cardinal, but that flash of brightest red against the snow was thrilling.

What we didn't anticipate was this little acrobat who made his way over the squirrel shield and up the shepherd's crook then down to the bird food.  I guess it helps to have little bitty 'hands' and feet that can grab hold of anything.  


Interestingly, the birds didn't try to chase him away.
