This guy has got to be my favorite bird. I can count on him dropping by a couple of times every day. He never stays and makes a pig of himself. He usually selects a peanut and eats it on the perch, then grabs another and heads for the trees with it. You can see him working the woods behind my house off and on all day preferring his natural food to the plentiful peanuts just below him. Later in the afternoon or evening he will stop by and grab a "little snack" repeating the eat one and take one to go proceedure. The missus stops by once and awhile but not on a regular basis.

C&C always welcome.

another excellent set of your buddy, I have a pair or 2 here, they do the same thing. If I get home and the suet is empty, he will let me know right when I get out of the truck.
Very nice shots, spot on focus, excellent detail, Well done Sir!
