Crackin'

The reason these little Black Capped Chickadees are so quick and hard to photograph is that they very quickly grab a seed and fly off to a near by branch with it. They place it beneath their feet and,while grasping it,they crack it open with their beak.So much work for such a tiny seed!
Stunning catch!h

Great close up! I thought maybe it was saying its prayers before it ate the seed!
