Red-breasted nuthatches
This is not my photo. I saw two red-breasted nuthatches pursuing each other by spruce trees near the feeder. Perhaps they are mating. There are plenty of young birds about. The young house sparrows insist on pestering their parents for food even though they seem quite capable of pecking for sunflower seeds just like their parents. In fact if they are unable to cajole the adults into feeding them they go back to feeding themselves. Maybe there is a lesson for humans in all this.
