As I sat and read my book for school with the late afternoon rays baking down on me, I noticed my lil friends the chickadees were about. One or two would land in the branches of the lilac, then fly down to the water dish on the corner shelf, chirp at me, then fly off toward the feeders. The seed in the one feeder seemed like it's getting a bit old ( as that particular feeder seems to let in a lot of moisture, causing the seeds to mould in the bottom of the feeder and the birds just ignore it and go to the neighbours feeder or checks the suet cake. I thought it might be fun to put out a little bit of seed by the water dish, and maybe in another spot and see if they'd feed where I could watch and maybe capture a few shots.
So I put some seed on the top of the corner post and along side the two sides of the corner shelf
and also scattered some on the one side of the grill as well as in a dish to entice them there.










It didn't take long for them to get curious and start in on the seed in both locations
Later as I drove out to volleyball, I couldn't help but capture a few sunset shots while driving. (shhhh - don't tell!)
