Feeding the orioles

I have been privileged to have some great up-close viewing of our neighborhood orioles as they come to the feeders with the kids. Click on pictures to enlarge.

Making friends with blue jays

Yes, they are kind of noisy, but this is one of the things I love about them. They constantly let everyone know what is going on and when the Cooper’s hawk shows up, they bravely taunt him/her giving everyone a chance to dive for cover. They love it when I throw peanuts to them and have recently started bringing the young to the patio to indulge. Click on pictures to enlarge.
