I added another peanut feeder to the feeder pole yesterday and it made for some great photos ops as all my little feathered friends had to check it out.Almost all of the bluejays have learned to take two peanuts at a time now...such little piggies
In this photo you can see how I wire a tall dead branch to the feeder pole in order to get more "natural" looking poses. This is actually my second branch of the season as my first cool looking and lichen covered one couldn't handle the weight of a fat squirrel jumping from one branch to another.
I broke off the branch obstructing the view of the round ornament and get a much better view now :)

Maybe you know this, but I will share anyway for anyone who does not: When bluejays come to get peanuts they will often pick up each one and go through them all looking for the heaviest one. The funniest part to me is that they keep coming back and coming back until they get them all anyway.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you.
Your pictures are incredible. Such detail of the birds' feathers. And your funny commentary! Thanks for making my day.
Just beautiful!
Merry Christmas to you and your feathered friends, Marsha! Does he actually have two peanuts in his beak???
You have such fantastic ideas with the different feeders.
Merry Christmas to you.
