Nuts

These two Dark-eyed Juncos were underneath a hickory tree that was absolutely littered with pieces of nut.
A couple of Black-capped Chickadees were doing the same.
Elsewhere: a similar hickory smorgasbord. I supposed squirrels make these messes. There’s still a lot of nut meat here.
Not sure what this one is working on.
Wing of a Dark-eyed Junco. Hickory nuts to bird to bird, the great chain of eating.
