I'm glad you got some close-up looks at yours.<br /><br />Hi Heather,<br />I would love to have some titmice around to feast on peanuts, but the bluejays don't like to share with others! I'll be checking over at your blog for pictures.<br /><br />Hi Ray,<br />I have been on a couple Forestville birding trips with Alex as a leader so it will be fun to see your video. It's great to bird with someone so young, enthusiastic and knowledgable.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-11620075774740430012009-11-29T19:31:08.686-06:002009-11-29T19:31:08.686-06:00I like my "regulars" and the feisty jays...I like my "regulars" and the feisty jays are one of them. <br />I don't know if you ever met Alex W at the park but I put up a video he made about Forestvilletroutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-806962565218840742009-11-29T14:07:34.290-06:002009-11-29T14:07:34.290-06:00Glad your FeederWatching this year, Ruthie!

You make a good point about the weather - it's been incredibly mild here for the month, too, and the diversity and the numbers and general have not been high at the feeders. Haven't seen a Blue Jay one yet this season. Our whole peanuts are getting devoured by the Titmice and Red-bellied Woodpeckers (and occasionally a White-breasted Nuthatch). I'll post pictures of them soon.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-6469645206245914412009-11-28T08:13:34.371-06:002009-11-28T08:13:34.371-06:00You always know when the Jays arrive, they are alw...You always know when the Jays arrive, they are always so noisy, I love that. When I hear them I go and look to see what's going on. Yesterday when we were putting up our outside Christmas decoration our nuthatches and 2 chickadees were our company. We even had a downy at the suet, we even stopped for them to watch.<br /><br />MOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-72491367736646979192009-11-28T08:01:28.303-06:002009-11-28T08:01:28.303-06:00I have enjoyed the antics of our three regular Blu...I have enjoyed the antics of our three regular Blue Jays this season.

They get one scoop a morning but I think I'm down to my last 10 pounds. <br />I'll trade you a dozen bluejays for a pair of Evening Grosbeaks--I've never seen them down here.<br /><br />Thanks Kelly. They pretty much hang around my yard all summer, but the winter is when I'm able to see them in such great numbers.<br /><br />Hi Gaelyn,<br />Sounds like our weather will be going back to normal next week, so we've definitely been enjoying the extended autumn. These bluejays are smart, but shy. I would love the opportunity to feed them peanuts from my hand, but they've never gotten used to my presence outside.<br /><br />Thanks Lisa. It's always nice to know there are other bluejay enthusiasts out there!RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-18440657861336207172009-11-28T03:42:38.035-06:002009-11-28T03:42:38.035-06:0014 Blue Jays.

Well maybe not if they can't find the stashed peanuts. ;-) We typically have scrub jays here.Gaelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784162697113288888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-49813779468571917302009-11-27T21:35:51.636-06:002009-11-27T21:35:51.636-06:00...I like Blue Jays too.

I swear they have peanut-radar and know the instant the feeder is filled.<br /><br />We saw a female Evening Grosbeak yesterday and have been hoping more will show up, but even she is not in evidence today. Like you say, I think it's just too warm for the birds to be hitting the feeders heavily.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
