I was excited to see a blue jay in my backyard when I had my camera with me. We get lots of cardinals, chickadees and sparrows, but the blue jays are a rare treat.
The blue jay was pecking at whatever he could find on the ground, probably compost leftovers from last year. I wish I had gotten a crisper shot of him.
And here he is, set to depart from my neighbor’s tree. Bye, blue guy.
My black capped chickadee shot came out much crisper than the blue jay photos. Here he is diving into the bird feeder for a bite to eat.
To those of you who might come to my blog to see or read something other than bird posts, I have ideas in my head and then all of a sudden it’s time to post Nature Notes again. Soon, soon, I’ll put up something else.

What gorgeous captures of the little beauty. They are a visual breath of fresh air.
Right…soon, soon. Yadda, yadda. LOL Sorry
Hey, remember when I said I would write a post on Pinterest? Well, I did, right? 😉
LOL, funny!
Wonderful shots of the blue jay and I love the little chickadee.
Thanks, Carver!
Seeing cute photos like that I can’t help wondering what it would be like to see them in real life. 🙂
Funny, I probably spend too much time trying to get the photo to enjoy the birds! But what I really enjoy is when my daughter has a friend over and I say, come look at the cardinal! Some children have never noticed a bird in their lives (I was probably like that as a kid).
You do get a lot of birds in your backyard, don’t you? Nice to see blue birds after the red ones. 🙂
I am working at making sure they (the birds) are fed … if you decided to feed all the cats in your neighborhood, I bet your backyard would fill up soon, right?
Our cat would never tolerate a stranger in the garden! But I now he eats in other cats’ plates.
Good point. As we don’t have a resident bird shooing away the others, they all come.:-)
Hi Leora, I love your birds, the chickadee is adorable. I like reading and seeing any kind of nature post. Thanks for sharing.
And I love getting comments from you, Eileen. Your comments are always warm and friendly.
Leora, these are really nice shots. I don’t have many bird shots, so it’s great to see yours. Keep shooting and sharing. God bless.
Glad you like my bird shots! I work hard at them.
I love the bird posts, especially because I know the birds were spotted pretty close to where I am sitting right now. It always makes me look out the window to see if I spot any birds.
They do like Highland Park. Fortunately.
I am so happy to see that you are sharing the birds with other children. If it weren’t for my Great-aunt, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to birds as a child. The blue jay are big, colorful and so talkative and smart..very smart..they will be back if you have black sunflower seeds as they love them. This is a great post for Nature Notes.. Tell your daughter that I loved the baby bear photo and was surprised myself to see what they looked like. Very sweet looking.. Michelle
Black sunflower seeds – now on the shopping list.
Leora..it looks like you already have the black oil sunflower seeds in the tray..they are the black ones and do come in most bags of mixed seed. If you want, you could just feed them alone..depends on what you want to do…but all birds like the BOSS-black oil sunflower seeds..
OK, I’ll look in the supermarket. For some reason, our small supermarket has lots of bird seeds!
I may need a second feeder.
I have at least one window feeder here that I could send..let me check to see if I still have it..
Bird posts are always good 🙂 Love your little Chickadee, what a handsome fellow.
Loving your photos ~ especially the chickadee ~ namaste, Carol ^_^
