1. He can toss, flip and catch seed using only his beak.

2. Upside-down, even.

3. He is very inquisitive.

4. He allows me within 18 inches of him on the feeder.

5. But not on the tree.

6. He does not like it when I bring my camera outside.

7. He’s persistant, stuffing seeds in behind the bark.

8. He cleans up after himself, picks up any seed he’s dropped.

9. He watches me and knows when fresh suet is out, he’s the first one there, usually.

10. He’s acrobatic, flips and twists upside down and sideways with just small flaps of the wings – incredible little guy to watch from 18 inches!

It’s MONDAY! I feel like today is a good day to be busy in the studio, so I’m going to attempt to get things organized and get some canvas time in today! I’ll let you know how that works out – being summer vacation and all, we’ll see how the stars and moon have aligned themselves today. Wish me cooperative children and a peaceful puppy!
