While the squirrels are away, birds actually do visit. Here are a few who stopped by today. I think there were two different blue jays, the beaks are different lengths. I think they're a couple.

sleepydrdr: Great set of photos. I think the second shot is a juvenile blue jay, not grown up yet.

Cute "throaty" jay, nice feather detail on mourning dove. Has a second SX50 been ordered yet for hubby?

Go ahead Linda...kick me when I am down...

Actually I am thrilled that she has taken an interest...she's got a good eye...

She has also taken over my little time lapse camera...and is currently taking shots of a cucumber...go figure.
