Upper and downer kind of day

This morning started out pretty good with many birds flocking to the bird feeders. I even went out to refill the feeders and had a surprise visitor. It seems a chickadee decided that I wasn't so big and scary so it landed about three feet from me and appeared to watch what I was doing. It flitted away and back several times as if I didn't exist.

Plenty of birds were chowing down when a hawk of unknown type swooped down toward the feeder and off into the trees chasing its lunch. One small wren took off in rapid flight and smacked into my viewing window with a lot bang. Sorry to report it did not make it, not a lunch for the hawk just another window kill.

Kind of sours the day.
