In a corner of the woods, hidden in one of several nest boxes, a mother Black-capped Chickadee
Poecile atrcapillus feeds her young nestlings. As soon as they hear her land at the opening, each "gapes" as wide as possible to get fed the most. What is she feeding them? Mostly insects and small worms . . . for protein to grow fast. They need to be able to fly in just a week or so!
