Disappearing Seeds

The past three years, I have bought a giant sunflower seedhead for the birds. Actually, for the blue jays, it turns out. This year, I was lazy and left the seedhead on my front porch. Here's how it looked on December 7.

Taken in the morning light on December 16. I've had visitors, despite the fact that my Max Cat is in and out of the house. A couple of mornings, I have heard the jays shouting; it seemed to come from the front porch.

Here is the picture from December 23, just before I went up to Flagstaff for the Christmas holiday. Note that it's from a slightly different angle. I am happy that I have customers!

Note: OmegaMom promised that I'd have a post about her adventures, with her husband, on that favorite holiday pasttime, "some assembly required." I have the pictures, but got home late and too tired to pull it all together. Real Soon Now.
