Yea Gnu! where is the picture. Your one hell of a story teller. I saw a flock of seagulls once eating all the worms when the farmer was plowing his fields. They just don't look proper inland.
In all seriousness Gnu, that would have been a treat to see. I have never heard of such a thing.
Short story.
Last summer my son and his friend were fishing behind the house. I went to see how they were doing and squatted about 10 feet from them. They were both sitting on a log and casting out in the river. I noticed that they both had what looked like sawdust on their shoulders. Not much but enough to be noticed. I looked up and saw this Chickadee going into a small hole in a branch about 4 feet from where they were sitting and coming out and dropping a speck of wood on them. I pointed it out to them then asked them to move away. The bird then started to do the same thing to me. I guess the message it was trying to tell us was to get the hell away from my nesting area. It was fun to watch.
