Bird Brains

I kept seeing birds drop from the trees onto the pavement at the overlook on Monte Sano, where I take pictures of the sunrise most mornings.  It was a nice sunny morning so I pulled out the big lens to see what I could see.

They are eating the acorns that cars have (conveniently) smashed open for them.  This is a tufted titmouse about to fly off with a piece.  The nuthatches appear to eat them while they're still on the ground.

At Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama.
