Early Morning Bandit

I got up at 5:15 this morning. I looked out at the beautiful day and noticed this fellow busily gathering and eating the black sunflower seeds from one of the bird feeders. I grabbed my camera and took a few shots of him or her through the window. Then I cracked the door hoping for a photo not through glass but the sound alerted him and sent him scurrying. This is the first time I've seen any of these guys on the deck in daylight. I had planned to take a reflection photo for MonoMonday but decided that this was too rare an opportunity to miss. So here she is, a big bandit at work stealing sunflower seeds.
