Nice shots and dialog Dave... the sweet chickadee continues to wait in line as usual; but here the feisty Red-breasted chases away the White-breasted ;)

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Love sitting on the deck and getting close to the little guys. Their interactions are quite interesting to watch and entertaining to say the least!

For a really small bird, the Nuthatch attempts to intimidate other birds who invade his personal space. It usually doesn't work ... he's ignored by most other species, but he still plays the 'macho' card at every opportunity.

Fun stuff and glad to share. Thanks again for the positive comments. Truly appreciated.
