Very nice photos and very sharp. I think today you dared to photograph outside
Some really fun Jay shots!

First a 200 pound Black Bear took down 2 of my feeding stations, then a fat Coon took down another. 4 Squirrels (2 red, 2 grey) are now trying my patience. Then mom and dad Blue Jay have the habit of bringing their 3 young whipper-snappers to drive me over the hill. They hit my feeders like a blue tornado and cause havoc amongst my other backyard friends. I didn't think that 5 birds (2 adults and 3 kids) could completely empty my feeders in such a short period of time. I snapped a few pics to illustrate exactly what I have to contend with. I also included one of my special friends whom keeps the grubs out of my lawn for me.

(All kidding aside, I love to just watch the antics that these brazen youngsters go through. Into the yard like a whirlwind and within 10 minutes out the same way along with a helluva pile of seeds. Ah, to be young again)

lol...i enjoyed your humorous story and the whipper snappers shots, red, and i love that beautiful shot of the flicker.
Again I wish to thank all that (Dr J, DreamerJack, JRiepe, Blair Shaw Jr., blacks2, Hereford, Indrajeet Singh, reguli, JeffDavidson, Earnest Botello, raymondh, photophile, Vince68, Bubalola, merrytexan, water falls) for stopping by and commenting. Thank you loads. However it’s sad ( for me that is) to report that my blue gang somehow picked up one more character tonight. It appears there’s possibly 9 or 10 now. Hard to do an accurate count as they never stop moving.
Just ordered another 40lb bag of sunflower seeds with the hope it will take me to the end of August.
All youse fine folks out there stay safe and healthy.

We moved our feeders far away from our house. Besides the constant fights between the Stellar’s Jays and Chicorée Squirrels And the damn rats, swarms of Bush Tits And various Sparrows and Chickadees made a mess of the yard. Now it is much calmer and safer for the ground nesters. Thanx gorvdharing!
