Catcher

We believe this is a female so her name has been changed to Catcherita. Sometime this Fall she broke her top beak in half, but she is doing fine despite it, and in fact seems to be the dominant jay in the yard.

Predator in the Yard

This guy was in the yard around 7:30 this morning. You can't tell from the photo but he looked a bit smaller than a crow. He finally got tired of me taking his picture and left. He's not in the picture here but Scratch(squirrel) is on the opposite side of the tree trunk across from the bird. The bird apparently wasn't after him, maybe the squirrel was a bit big. The pics are a little dark because it is overcast this morning. Click pictures to enlarge images.





This one is a little blurry... I used the digital zoom to get closer.

Warming up to the Feeder Tray

Finally some little birds are trying the new feeder tray out.

Look who's helping...

Sorry 'bout the blurry picture, but you can see what is going on. You go crow...

Flicker and Suet

This is a new visitor to the suet.

Hummy Feeder

Finally put the hummingbird feeder out.

They Did it!

This is the first time any birds have used the window feeder we got for Christmas.

More Crows

How many?...Alot!

These are just the ones you can see in the light there are probably 10 in the dark areas. Click the photo and choose all sizes when redirected to Flickr.

Here is a stellar's jay waiting for a peanut. Excuse me....do you have a JUMBO peanut?
