Chickadees feeding insects to babies

I’ve tried to take photos of birds feeding insects to their babies. It’s not always easy getting good photos of these interactions!

The images show some of the large VARIETY of insects fed to baby birds. I have photos only of birds that tend to hang around people — chickadees of course, wrens, grackles and a few others.

Remember: Almost all birds (goldfinches being a notable exception) rely on insects to feed their babies AND these insects rely on native plants!
