Look how he peers over the bird block. He kept slowly poking his head up like that then back down for another bite.
He looked like this --->

But mostly I have deer, and they'd scarf that whole thing down in no time. There a group of about 7 first year bucks (I think) that make the daily rounds here.

I'd mind more except everything is under a foot or so of snow, so they probably are legitimately hungry. And probably through most of history the birds followed the deer around this time of year, because the deer could dig down through the heavy snow and leave plenty of tidbits for littler folk.

Bunnies but deer too. Neat the way animals' natural behavior helps out other animals. Nature knows what she's doing.

And he tried to be very, very sneaky. He needs to learn how to keep his ears down though.
