This solitary chickadee was feeding on seed, placed in a makeshift feeder that had been hung (not by me...I stumbled upon it while walking near the river) on a tree just off a small path between the Bow River Pathway and the river. The chickadee was picking up seed and then flying 3-4 m away to perch in shrubs to actually feed. In addition to appearing to be alone it was also completely quiet, perhaps attempting to monopolize the food source?
