Blue Jay at Feeder

 Peanuts!

Peanuts are rich in protein and fat and attract many birds to feeders.

 Yum!

This blue jay was so attracted that it hardly noticed I was only a few feet away with my camera.

Are you looking at me?

I am connecting to Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE

  4. I love the way birds look at you trying to photograph them, they either fly away or stay and pose.
    Wonderful photos. Have a great week.

  7. Wonderful shots! Our jays like peanuts but we put them out in the shell a handful at a time. They spot them immediately.

  14. I am seeing more and more of these peanut feeders on blogs, perhaps I should get one also, as if I don't spend enough $$$ on bird food as it is already.

  23. Pretty little guy, and is there anything cheekier than a jay?

  24. Blue jays are cocky. Maybe that's because they are so good-looking!

    ;)

  28. He's a beauty. Ours love peanuts too, but I can never get very close unless I'm in a bird blind. Nice shots!

  29. That little bit of green tinge on his tail and belly makes me think he has been meandering in a freshly cut yard. I love the Blue Jays. They are so entertaining and beautiful. Great pictures ...

  36. I love how this feeder says....."You need to work for your peanut!:)" It looks squirrel proof!
