Saturday morning I saw three instances (not sure if all were the same bird) of an Oregon Junco trying to hover while it extracted a deed from a fir cone. In the instance posted it was successful. I'd never seen such action before. I don't know if this was a sin aberrant individual that had been watching too many chickadees or what.
I apologize for the quality of the image. It was still pretty dim and the bg was sunlit fog, while the bird was in the shadows of the fir. Certainly nothing worth posting for its image quality.
Nice shot Dennis...

When you are hungry...
I saw 4 bald eagles sitting in the middle of a snow covered field today, which is unusual and they obviously had found some carrion to eat and fight over.
