Photos around the campsite

Some bird photos at my seed feeder.  The Black-headed Grosbeak seems to "get it," and has enjoyed eating seeds at the hanging bird feeder. I think this feeder was made for smaller birds. I do have another one that attaches to my window, I'll have to see if I can find it for the Jays.

She is able to perch on the feeder securely and reach the feeding holes.

Then she enjoys the seeds she gets.

Yumm, chewing away (or whatever it is they do).

But the poor Jays just don't get it.  They look at the feeder, fly to it, try to hang on, and half the time they don't grab on and drop to the ground.  If the Jays do make it to the perch, they poke at the seed hole, knock some out, then drop to the ground to eat the seeds.

What IS this thing?

Okay, this is working.

 Lets's see what's in here.

   Hey, not bad - seeds!  I like it!

Oh, Oh!  This isn't working!

 Help, I'm falling!

And down he went!

I got such a kick out of watching them.  After a bunch of tries, most of the Jays got the knack of it.  Today I moved my rig around in the site, and I had to move the bird feeder so I could see it out the window.  It's like we're starting all over again, and they are checking it out again.

It was a nice day today.  It's 6:00 pm and the thunder just started and the clouds are moving in, so we might have some rain tonight.  I just saw some lightening.  I'm going out for pizza tonight, and hope Katie will be okay - she doesn't like the thunder. :(

From Me and My Dog, have a great Wednesday evening, everyone!  :)
