PEANUT and red-bellied woodpecker at a local conservation area
P is for PEANUT
Many birds love raw peanuts, a rich source of protein and other nutrients such as vitamins A and E, zinc ans iron.
PEANUT and bluejay
Birds with strong bills (woodpeckers, cardinals, nuthatches) like peanuts in the shell. Sometimes peanuts are eaten on the spot or taken away to be eaten later.
PEANUT and red squirrel
Aha! This "non bird" is also fond of peanuts!

these are so sweet, each with a peanut. bray park birds and squirrels come runnning and flying when a person walks in the park. begging for peanuts.
Sweet seeing them all with a peanut.
Okay, now you're just showing off! How do you do this? Fantastic stuff!
I like this peanut series! Great birds and photos!
Charming photos, even with the squirrel!
The critters sure do like peanuts don't they.
Goodie, more great bird pictures. We feed peanuts to the jays and love to watch them.

really awesome shots...love the peanut prop!
Those animals really love peanuts! That gives me an idea to pick up a bag for my birds!
These are awesome shots of the birds with their peanuts ( and of course the squirrel is very cute too). Nice captures, and thanks also for stopping by my blog. Have a wonderful day!
Wow terrific photos!
Awesome photos! It amazes me to see these relatively small birds with such huge nuts securely in their beaks.
Your world is wonderful!
Awesome photos! I was amazed last year when I put out some pecans. They were small and quite hard-shelled. I figured the squirrels would love them, but it surprised me to see the jays hammering them open and enjoying the nut goodies!
Wonderful series, they all have their beaks and mouths full!
Visiting from the Rurality Blog Hop!
I love red-bellied woodpeckers and you've captured him perfectly. Beautiful shots!
Precious shots- love those peanut stuffed faces.
They're having such PERFECTLY PEANUT-Y fun! I love the red squirrel, never saw one in nature!
Great shots of these peanut eaters who look like they are biting off more than they can chew! :)
Actually I was aware the non-bird was fond of peanuts. But didn't know these birds also liked it so much. Lovely captures!
Great shots! Beautifully done! I didn't know peanuts were such a hit with birds. Most of the ones I see here are seed-eaters, or hawks and eagles. I wonder what a supply of peanuts might bring. . .
You really make fabulous pictures! I must admit I love the cute squirrel!
Ptaki i wiewiórka wiedzą co dobre. Wspaniałe zdjęcia. Pozdrawiam.
Birds and squirrel know what is good. Great pictures. Yours.
Love your peanuts pictures!

All delightful images, love them all.
Lovely pictures. Yes,the squirrels seem to find the free food as well.
Must be the season, since I also spotted a neighborhood squirrel with a peanut he clearly wasn't interested in sharing with anyone, let alone me.
Great shots! I love peanuts also, so I guess I'm in good company...
Peanuts mm yummy oh to be a bird and eat peanuts without risk of getting fat
Great captures! Just for the record, goats LOVE peanuts too!
Wonderful photos, I love those beautiful colors, excellent catches. Greetings.
The bird shots are so awesome! I love the squirrel, too, but the detail in the birds just blows me away!
Although that non-bird character looks nice with the peanut, I really like your first photo.
Hope he's not allergic!
You are so right! I put peanuts
out for the squirrels and the
blue jays grab them..
Great photos

There was a squirrel in my back yard today busily burying a peanut in the snow! silly squirrel!
Fantastic shots. I am envious of the first one as I haven't managed to photograph the red-bellied woodpeckers so far this year. I spot them going up and down my trees but they move too fast for me.
We have a ton of walnut trees around our house, and I always enjoy watch the squirrels with them. Wonderful shots!
Love your "peanuts" captures...all so nice. May have to take your advise and buy some peanuts.
They do so love peanuts! I'll have to get some again. Awesome photos!
These are great love them all!!!
Our birds are eating peanuts like crazy!
Super captures!
These are great. I love the squirrel shot.
Hey Ms. T.G. ~~ I hadn't realized that woodpeckers liked peanuts in the shell. I will try scattering some close to the tree that ours works so hard in trying to find a worm.
Your pictures are great!!!

Maravillosas imágenes...un abrazo desde murcia
Great capture, the birds are gorgeous and I'm really enchanted by the cute squirrel!

those are some awesome action shots. You've got some talent.
beautiful shots. wish we could leave peanuts out, but unfortunately the really unwanted critters show up :)
Love the non-bird best. =>
Fantastic captures♫ Enjoyed your blog today♫ My P effort: http://lore-eleven.blogspot.com/2013/03/pipes.html
Peanuts galore... keeping them fed! Thank you for joining in 'Rurality Blog Hop #5' Hope to see you next Wednesday for #6...
Who else but you could capture all these critters with a peanut in their mouths (or beaks, as it may be).
;)
This is one of the most creative P words for the week!
I love your captures!
And all the critters enjoy the p-nuts!
Thanks for the smile.
