Backyard visitors

Since hanging my pinecone craft, I have been noticing an increase in birds trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I have been laying down a line of seeds across the back of our backyard bench in hopes that I could attract a few more visitors. This has been the result:

After a little reasearch, I think I found that this is a tufted titmouse:

Chickadees are the only ones that will hop onto the pinecones. The squirrels stole one and ripped it apart.
This has been a fun endevor, I really enjoy watching the birds while I feed Remi lunch or while I wash the dishes. A simple pleasure that keeps me smiling.
