EARTHSHINE - When the moon seen from Earth is a thin crescent, Earth viewed from the moon is almost fully lit. The dark side of the moon is dimly illuminated by sunlight reflected from Earth, called earthshine, which is bright enough to be easily visible from Earth. This is sometimes referred to as the "old moon in the new moon's arms." (Source: Wikipedia)

FINALLY, THE REWARD - A Chickadee comes up with a sunflower kernel after selecting it from the feeder, taking it to a branch perch to finally get it chipped open to get at the seed kernel.

SIZE ADVANTAGE - A Dark-eyed Junco is dwarfed by the Nuthatch that stole its seed. Juncos are ground feeders - spending their energy scratching around in the grass. Nuthatches can move up and down on tree bark and on trees is where we typically see them. This Nuthatch saw easy picking where the much smaller Junco was foraging.
