This one's delightful, Rick! Only you could have thought about comparing Johnny Appleseed to a Clark's Nutcracker, but, danged if you didn't pull it off! Nicely done.

Since these birds belong to the corvidae family we know they are smart. Makes you wonder if they are just caching seed or if they are planning for the future by planting trees. Nature takes care of herself quite well. Every summer I find sunflower seedlings growing in my potted plants from the Stellar Jays, another corvidae, having gathered the seed from my bird feeders! Great article.
