chicadees at our feeder

At last, our bird feeder saw some use today. Two chicadees came to feed repeatedly while we were there.
Kenny spotted them first, which was a neat trick because they were actually behind him. We also saw a robin lurking about, but it didn't approach while we were there.
It's been about two weeks without a single bird until today. I had been entertaining the idea of simply shelving the thing, maybe depositing the seeds on a fence-top or fence-post rather than hold out any hope of birds coming.
