There may not have been a lot of seeds in the dried-out marsh plants, but this little chickadee, which I am pretty sure is a Carolina Chickadee (Poecile carolinensis), seemed determined to get every last one.

Great shot, this time of year they are scrounging for everything they can find..:-)
I don’t know how they get much nutrition out of those dried up seeds, but they must.
Is there any other kind?
Hmm….maybe not, though perhaps they are temporarily satisfied after a good meal, though not for long, more or less like a human teenage male.
