Two guys sharing a meal

I saw some new birds at the feeders today. This male House Finch was one of them. He didn't visit for very long, but he and this Cardinal had a meal together.

When I was reading about Blue Jays recently, I read they mimic the Red-tailed Hawk's cry to scatter the other birds away from the feeders. I heard a hawk behind me today and I was fairly sure it wasn't in the yard. It was a Blue Jay. I wonder how many times I've been fooled?

Thank you so much for your kind words of support for my pics!!! It really means a lot to me! :0)

If you have a minute, I'm adding a pic called The Love Story Continues to my other album. :0)

Cardinal - If you roll it about like this, you can get two seeds in your beak at once and you can make yourself look like Dracula...

House Finch - OoOooh scary. Let me try.

Cardinal - You need to be red to pull it off.

House Finch - Damn.

[Carolyn White]
