I'm thankful for December
- when the bears settle in for their winter nap (we hope)
- bird feeders are back on our deck

and colorful birds gather on Saturday mornings

are blue jays bullies? - hmmm, I don't know - maybe
I'm just taken in by their beautiful blue coloring
I'm shallow that way...
Well, good morning!
Yeah - snow wasn't really my thing - I guess I'll just wait my turn
- ummmm - hello? - are you about finished?
This is supposed to be our feeder...
Is she still watching us?
Gee, lady - isn't it about time that you go take a shower or something?
Who knew birds were so perceptive?
- so that's what I did before heading to our local bird store
- so that's what I did before heading to our local bird store
to buy these guys a new pole for their peanut feeder
(which was bent over last year, by a bear - bad bear!)
- and hopefully give this feeder back to the chickadees...
So - how can I go about getting that bear gig?
- a winter nap sure sounds good to me, right now
Have a wonderful weekend!

Aww just so cute! I love to see your blue jays and cardinals as we don't have them in Ireland. Great shots of them a fun narrative!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice nap!
Your blue jay is a beauty. Your narrative is fun and funny too!
ReplyDeleteBlue Jays just have aggressive personalities, they are type A.
ReplyDeleteoh thanks for the laugh, the little bird looking in at you stalking him, so funny! great shots and yes, to nap like a bear...ahhhhh! thanks so much for linking with me!! have a super weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my blue jays and I gotta tell you I think they get a bad rap - I think we have discussed this before. Their colors and their feather patter is stunning and mine are just not that aggressive!!
ReplyDeleteYou got some really great captures of them - and I always feel like mine know I am there!!! I gotta tell you that I love the last image. The frame, the greenery, it's just special!!
The real bullies are the doves. They're so tough they'll go eye to eye with the woodpecker, and that takes some nerve.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of this Blue Jay, Karen!
ReplyDeleteI miss my summertime hummers, but enjoy the broader variety of birds at my winter feeding station. Thanks for linking up today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful set of bird images
ReplyDeleteGlad u could put the bird feeders back on the place to allow birds to come close by and for you to watch and shoot! Love all you photos on the blue bird and the light expose is quite wonderful to watch.
ReplyDeleteMinus their shrieking I always loved Blue Jays growing up. I agree its the color.
ReplyDeleteBluejays can be bullies, and even cannibals! But they are beautiful, and I love all the different birds. They're all just doing what nature made them to do. But I agree with Sarah about the shrieking. They often wake me up in the summer and fall when I have the windows open overnight.
ReplyDeleteWe just started seeing Blue Jays in our area and I'm truly excited. They are just the most gorgeous blue and you have captured that beautiful blue beautifully!!
ReplyDeleteBlue jays are such colourful birds. In my opinion they rival parrots of tropical lands.
ReplyDeleteHello Karen,
ReplyDeleteVery great pictures of this wonderful bird.
Fantastic with the blue colors.
Kind regards,
Marco
Wintery weather always made me want to hibernate. Love that blue jay -- he's so handsome even if he is a feeder hog.
