haha- nice

Eastern Jays are so pretty.
Well done.

Neat set Steve.

Funny little scenario, Steve-thank you. Probably one of the few birds not intimidated by jays. What was on the ground that attracted them like that?

Great sshots, Steve....hey, you ARE south, what's with the snow?

Great shots well observed.

Surprised she can sleep with those noisy neighbours.

Amazing how well adapted birds seem to be at surviving the winter. I suppose a ready supply of food makes all the difference.

Very nice Steve.

Ted

Thanks for the kind comments coming from all you great photographers.

Have to agree with Jeremy, the Eastern Jay is a beautiful colored bird despite their pesky reputation.

Rog, I had cracked corn on the ground and a few Black Sunflower seeds.

Ian, I am FAR South compared to you, bet you got a laugh out this one. Where I live we get just about everything Nature can deal out throughout the year. Snow and ice storms are common from now until late March.

Lester, I can't believe how relaxed this dove is either around these jittery Jays but she has done this several mornings in a row, eats fast, snoozes about 5 minutes then leaves for the day.

Thanks Ted, appreciate it

Good ones Steve. That dove does look pretty content along side all the Jays.

Fun shots Steve...looks like my yard. Not sure which numbers are greater here, Bluejays, Mourning Doves, or Black Capped Chickadees!

Well captured Steve.

Cool shot.
