Squirrels and Nuthatches

The juvenile squirrels were out yesterday, as were the nuthatches. Since I am more partial to the nuthatches than the squirrels, I was simply going to post the nuthatch for today's picture. (In the end, I decided to post them both.)

When it comes to the animals that take the seeds off my deck, the nuthatch actually takes the whole seed and flies away. The squirrel, however, shells the seed on my deck, takes the nut, leaves the shell behind, and then 'flies away', leaving something of a mess on my deck.
