So Blurry Around Here

Well, we are back to the backyard and the large tray feeder. Let's go through some shots from the week.

"Does this feeder make me look fat?"



Blue Jay time. Often, the squirrels leap off of the tray feeder and send it spinning. Blue Jays are waiting around and sometimes land at just the right moment.



More adults hanging out. Blue seems to be intensifying lately.



Plus, I have been wondering who was eating the fruit bits now that the Catbirds were gone.



Look! Finally, a juvenile bird has graced us with a photo pose. Compare the head feathers and color brightness with the adult above.



A little later a White-winged Dove watches a female Red-winged Blackbird feed.



A couple of days later we get a much better view of a female Red-winged Blackbird.



Ah, another blurry photo. Yet, it is a new bird for the month. A Red-bellied Woodpecker!



Next blurred photo of the week: Our banded Carolina Wren bobbing for bird seed.



Not long afterward, a juvenile Carolina Wren stops in for a look-see. Note the yellow gape still showing at the base of the beak and no white spots on the wings which distinguishes the younger birds from adults.



Finally, a really blurry photo! Had to include it, though, as I can't remember a BirdCam shot of a Brown Thrasher from the past. They live around here and breed around the yard but they do not visit the feeders too much. Proof after all of this time!



All local birds but still fun to see.
