Breakfast In The Garden

This morning I took a stroll into the garden to see who might be having breakfast there. There was the usual flutter of finches among the stalks of now seed-bearing cosmos and coreopsis. Also a downy woodpecker was pecking through a sunflower, checking for insects that might be burrowing into the sunflower seeds.
