OK HERES THE SOLUTION TO THE PHOTO OF THE DAY:
These are the tracks of a roadrunner. Like owls, woodpeckers and other members of the cuckoo family, roadrunners have feet that are zygodactyl, with two toes pointing frontwards and two toes pointing backwards. This makes it difficult to tell which way the bird was going.

Over the past few days honeybees have invaded our bird feeders. Why?

Eerm... Are there little flowers between the seeds or something? Or maybe polen?

Haha, good guess but no.
Although the bees are active, there are very few flowers this early in the season. The bees are not eating the seeds. They can't because their mouths are not adapted for seed eating. Instead, they are eating the dust that covers the seeds. That dust is mostly made up of tiny bits of seeds, small enough for the bees to eat. The bird feeders give them an easy feast until more flowers open.

Oh i thought bees were only interested in pollen, i didn't know they ate seed dust. I've learned yet again!
