A funny and sad day in the chickadee nest. And out first hummingbird of the year.

A funny and sad day in the chickadee nest. First, the mother has an interesting way of keeping the nest clean - eating the poop!!! Second, the mother seemed to knock one of the chicks out of the nest and then leave it to die..... Now down to four chicks.
