The other day, the local "nutches"—as they are called in these parts—mobbed me while I was refilling the feeders, flashing past my ears as if I were a North Country Tippi Hedren. They and the chickadees showed no patience while stuffing their larders with sunflower seeds, perhaps for a last feast before heading south for the winter.
