Who's been eating at my house???

Mr. B. Jay.

That's who.

We feed peanuts to the blue jay who lives in these parts. The Raven joins in once in a while too when he feels like it.

But the blue jay is so shy. He flits to the feeder...grabs a mouth full.... and he's off into the nearby trees to feast.

Almost all pictures I've been able to catch of him are through our kitchen window, so not the greatest quality.

Although it is better than the alternative of sitting outside in the cold, acting like some kind of giant snowman and finding by the time the dang bird does decide to make an entrance, my fingers have frozen to the point of being immobile and unable to click the shutter.

Here's to the beginning of the Winter Solstice....tomorrow!!
