Frosty Sunday Morning Peanuts

Another frosty morning at 25 when I got up early this morning. I heard the blue jays checking out the peanut feeder on the deck. Got up and had coffee inside this morning, and the cats did not mind staying in for now. Had to get the camera situated on the tripod behind the patio door to get some bird photos. They easily scare with any movement. I managed to get several. Turns out there is more than one blue jay. I saw four at one time while I was getting the camera setup. Very cool to see so many. Beautiful birds. And the thin layer of frost did not slow them down. They kept returning for the peanuts. I could see a lawyer of ice on the peanuts when I first went out but they took them away to the trees to crack and eat. A very nice way to start off my day. I managed to capture two in the photo.

Very nice picture, one of them seems to have a peanut in his mouth or beak.

Yes and they are emptying it as fast as it is filled. I had to order a big bag from Amazon.

@Marty1 Yes I buy these, and just ordered a bulk order from Amazon to get a break on the price. Sorry about your hamster.
