Another Day, Another Blue Jay!

The female painted bunting is back today, waiting out the rain on the bird buddy. I’d never seen a painted bunting before yesterday and now we’ve had so many sightings!

Another twofer visit to the bird buddy today! Starting with a female northern cardinal and then a male.

A busy morning at the bird feeder! Two male common grackles show up early in the video follows by an appearance from a female cardinal. I love being able to see the size difference between the two species.

Another lovely surprise at the bird buddy this morning, a male painted bunting!

Scrub jays along the trail in Cruickshank Sanctuary. Some of the birds are incredibly friendly and get close up for some glamour shots.

A winning combo: the catbird returns and then a male red bellied woodpecker joins the party!

A helpful trick to keep squirrels off your bird feeders: employ the use of an adopted pup who will probably never catch a squirrel but loves to try.

In an incredible turn of events, the bird buddy captured two birds at two different feeders! The male cardinal giving a knowing look to the camera while the blue jay eats in the background is pure gold! The video also shows the blue jay coming back for more snacks after the cardinal leaves.
