Bird Feeder Heaven


Visits from the Colorado Blue Jays
The excitement that comes into my garden, in the winter, is created by my Bird Feeders.
The activity is programmed by my filling the feeders with peanuts, superior seeds & water.
It is amazing how quickly the birds react once I have set out the food. The open feeder gets filled with peanuts. Within minutes the Blue Jays start to fly into the hoppers.  
Are they waiting for me? How do they know when to stop by?
They cackle, screech, & swoop across the hillside giving me a fantastic view to watch them.  Squirrels join in.  The addition of water, to my winter garden,  has added an increase in bird population at all 3 of my feeders. It is a wonderful sight to see all the animals enjoying themselves.  Not to mention my Sheltie, Nola,  sitting with eager eyes watching the drama unfold from within.  When she goes out she races after them like a cat & mouse game. It is so much fun too watch!
