Caching is when chickadees gather and store seeds for winter. They stores hundreds of seeds per day and places them in different locations for protection.
The black-capped chickadee eats insects, spiders, seeds. When it is feeding babies, it uses mostly insects. In the winter, it feeds on more seeds such as sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, peanut butter, and mealworms.
Harvester Ants gather and eat seeds, especially the seed pods of the mesquite bush.Seeds

Squirrels scatter seeds by hiding them in various caches in their feeding range. Squirrels do not hibernate but do enter torpor but when they are active they use their stores to sustain themselves in the winter.
mangrove seeds are called propagules
In the summer, the chickadee hunts and enjoys caterpillars and other insects. In the winter, seeds and berries particular to the area he lives in are more important, and if he can find insect eggs and pupae, then he snaps them right up. At the feeder, a chickadee most enjoys black oil sunflower seeds.

Squirrels eat a variety of fresh greens as well as seeds and dried nuts. In spring, ground squirrels prefer greens over seeds and nuts. Once the natural grasses begin to dry and wither, squirrels will actively forage for seeds. Megan
