Down by Crow Creek, at the edge of a small clearing all set about with wild sweet Williams, the snag of a dead tree is getting lively. The chickadee eggs have hatched, down inside of the trunk, and the parents are bringing tiny insects to the babies. Here Mom or Pop leaves the nest for another load of groceries. This is the first photo I have gotten from inside my wonderful blind.
