Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

What was meant for our feathered friends has been discovered by our four legged furry friends, the Grey squirrel. Actually, this is no surprise, as we have been curious why we haven’t seen one at the feeder until now.

I thought a black & white shot may prove interesting. Don’t you just love the intensity of the staring?!

Same shot in real life colors. The Grey did munch a bit before he left. These little guys are quick and agile, and can eat a hand full of food in a jiffy.

I better look to determine if the feeder needs more Cardinal bird seed even though we still haven’t seen one of these beauties at the feeder, but we have a pair nearby. Good thing the two cast iron guardians don’t eat much.

Who knows what we will see next. It sure is fun to watch nature’s offspring enjoy a meal!

I couldn’t resist the humor in these photos. The cast iron feeder with integral iron birds standing guard over the bowl, and the small songbird using one of them as a perch before feeding.

Sometimes you just have to let yourself go and jump right into the fray…in this case a bowl filled with bird feed.

One just never knows who may drop by. The bird feed is for Cardinals, but all we have seen eat of it are a variety of small songbirds…until Mr. Jay dropped in. I must admit he looks a bit perplexed.

A closer look is needed to see if what’s in the bowl is worth getting.

Once that decision was made, the Blue jay grabbed his share, stared down his iron relative, and then flew off not to be seen again.

Isn’t Spring wonderful !!
