A Bird And His Peanut

Okay another failed attempt at photographing a squirrel. I was amazed as I watched this bird take a peanut out of squirrel feeder and fly away. How can he carry something so large and fly. As I sit watching I start hearing something similar to the woodpecker but just a little different. So I get up and try to find where the sound is and spot my little bird high in the tree having wedged the peanut in the tree and trying to break the shell with him beak. If I hadn't seen all this happen in front of my eyes not sure I would have believed it.
Love the pic and the story!

Aren't you the nice one to feed the squirrels. This is switch to hear of birds actually stealing from the squirrels. I have the opposite problem. I love your story and the picture is amazing.
