Blue Jays Eating Deck Peanuts

Even when the rain falls, the birds show up at the deck bird feeder. For now I am feeing them whole unsalted peanuts. They love these. Blue Jays in this photo each had two peanuts in their mouths. They fly to the trees to crack the shells and eat the peanuts. Other birds are showing up now. Photo is mine. Taken from inside.

Our blue jays are eating at our neighbors’ house, but drink and bathe at ours.

I always love to watch the birds and the squirrels at the feeding trough. It’s funny how the birds can sit on a shelf with a squirrel in harmony, but you can’t get TWO squirrels on the same shelf.

I never see squirrels. But I render seeing them jump from tree to tree growing up.
