This morning Art Kudy and 1 watched some 
chicadees feeding. There were three of 
them picking the iron seeds for little 
grubs that had lived in the bard meat. 
They clung to the tips of the branches 
and pulled them off and then held them 
under their feet while eating them. A 
great number fell on the ground and one 
little fellow made several trips into the 
snow after them only a few feet away. 
They kept up talkative notes all the 
while, tihen we first came one came down 
and looked at us as if to see what we 
want ed.

This afternoon I went back 
.drawing where I had seen the pine, 
grosbeaks. Heard one call 
and saw several in a tree. 
One flew into a pine but I 
could not locate it. In 
the mean while the others 
slipped off. They seem to 
slip off when I am not looking - . 
f6od They had been feeding on black ash seeds. 
I drew several. Sometimes the seeds were 
jrplana- slit as in the outside ones and sometimes 
jion clipped off clean as in the lower one. 
They disappeared in some way and the one 
in the pine must have followed them.
