This Black-capped Chickadee is drinking from the ant moat of one of my hummingbird feeders. There is a bird bath about four feet away, but perhaps this bird prefers the safety of this less-accessible source.

Ha, that looks like a lot of work compared to using the bird bath!
Cute! I have two of those same feeders and haven’t seen that trick yet!
