This is an in-flight image of a chickadee taken in the backyard. Also shown is a gall from a goldenrod plant. Gall flies will attack goldenrod and a gall as shown forms. Eggs are laid by the gall fly, which hatch into larvae and burrow into the gall. The larvae mature inside the protection of the gall.
Downy woodpeckers are best known for getting these larvae. They create a hole in the gall with their beaks. Their long tongues are then able to snake out the larvae.
Chickadees are supposed to be able to also do this but because of their shorter beak, have to a make a larger hole to get at the larvae.
I remember as a kid, we would use the goldenrod larvae as bait to fish for sunfish during the winter.
Thanks for stopping by. A retired educator, my main focus since retirement has been becoming more serious about photography. My wife and I live in northern Minnesota. Our favorite place to visit and photograph is Yellowstone National Park. My project for the past ten years has been photographing small birds in flight. The most frustrating endeavor I have ever attempted but also the most rewarding. Each day, it seems like a new problem has to be solved with this very difficult kind of photography!
