From the Peanut Gallery

I put peanuts out this morning specifically for the squirrel, but the blue jays found them first. They were so pretty I let them get away with it, this time at least!
Brilliant blues and feather patterns and such a great capture of this guy with his found treasure!

This is a beautiful bird Lin, I could break into song, "Blue is the colour, football is the game". I'll finish there before I embarrass myself. Nice capture, keep supplying the nuts.

Great capture, I love the turn of the head and the beautiful feathers. Usually squirrels steal food from birds--this seems to be the other way around!

@peggysirk @ladymagpie @nkehrle @tristansmum Thanks so much, everyone...I was a bit disappointed at first, because I was ready to capture the squirrel, but this turned out OK.

@archaeofrog @sansjuan Thanks, girls...yes, they are a bit crazy...and notice that he has a peanut beside him? He was getting them off the sidewalk and trying to hide them from his friends!

Fav! Love how you caught him with that big nut and he fits so well in that background scene. Great close-up and detail of his pretty blue feathers.

Wow! Great photo. I love his feathers. I think our blue jays are different. I'll have to try to get a shot of one. They're pretty fun birds!
