CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 1 Oct 22

That time of the year. I start feeding the fall and winter birds. I put out the whole unsalted peanuts on the deck. My two favorite birds are the Blue Jays and the Cardinals and the Mourning Doves. I always remember the phone...

Woke up to heavy rain and wind today. It has stopped for now but will return again soon. Tonight we will drop into the 30s F. After 80s F over the weekend, that will be a big temperature drop. Mother nature is reminding us who...

Birds are flocking to my deck feeder again. They enjoy the sunflower seeds and peanuts. Cardinals visit early and late, before and after the crowd. Blue Jays (in the photo) are usually the second to arrive. Grackles and other...

The blue jays have been non stop at the deck feeder. They love these peanuts. A male and female cardinal have visited as well. This one looked straight at the camera. I was behind the glass doors with the camera on the tripod....

Blue Jays Love the Peanuts

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 17 Dec 19

Had to clean out the wet bird feeder earlier. We got tons of rain last night from the storms that came through. The rain left the feeder a mess. Had to clean it out and now the birds are waiting in line. Maybe I need a second...

Trio of Blue Jays Greeted the Camera

CarolDM @CarolDM (203396) • Nashville, Tennessee 3 Dec 19

The camera is setup on a tripod behind the patio doors. It is too cold to stand out on the deck and wait on a photo op for the birds at the feeder. I snapped a few photos this morning and was excited to get three blue jays in one...

It's rare.. but I got a good Blue Jay shot!

minx267 @minx267 (15526) • Hartford, Connecticut 19 Jul 19

For such a common bird in our area.. I find it extremely hard to get good photos of Blue Jays and Cardinals for that matter. I was lucky earlier this week when I went out at 5am to get in some nice morning and sunrise shots...

I was on the "home stretch" with Angel on our walk this morning, and I saw a blue jay in our next door neighbor's yard. For once I had my camera with me so I thought I'd try to get a picture. The silly bird flew on top of their...

I expect a lot of you are like me, ready to welcome spring with open arms. We've had two bad snowstorms in the past week, but the worse seems to be over now. We saw a Blue jay today, what a welcome sight, I always consider the...

I hate birds!

I'm not talking about pet birds. I'm talking about certain pests outside. I have one outside cat and she's OLD. Every summer she is bothered by mockingbirds. Last year I had to put her food umder a cover so she could eat in...
