With my favorite bird, the Blue Jay.

S/he's been visiting the backyard in the afternoon for the past three days. The first two days s/he came after sunset, today however s/he came before the sun had completely set so photography was actually possible. The shutter speed was still a bit too slow to handhold, but that's sort of the reason of owning a good solid monopod.


Now where are those peanuts?

Is that a peanut?

Peanut!

I like this shot, you can her/his tounge inside the mouth.


S/he put the peanut back further in the beak for a better grip on it.

tree berries...


And while the robin has a feast, a nearby blue jay takes a drink from an eaves trough.
