Life is good!

I walked through my kitchen, looked out at my snowman/scarecrow......and it happened. The blue jay was sitting on her head. In my excitement, this is what I got. I'm happy although I hope he comes back and gives me another chance. :-)

[Marilee Diamond]

How cute! That must be bird feed up there. The snowman is so cute i just love her.

[Warren]

good one, I have found that they will definitely keep coming back

[Kerri]

How cool that he came!! Beautiful shot

[Dee Pabst]

So happy that the birds made friends with your snowman bird feeder! Awesome! My dog keeps our fine feathered friends away from my house :-( Bummer! I wanted to get some cool photos like this! Great photo!

[Devrin Wimberley]

Yay! They also like dog food, at least around here. They would swoop down and eat out of my dog's bowl on the back deck. Your snowman is so cute!

[Jonna]

Yippee!!! So glad the birds are losing their fear, and you caught one on the snow-scarecrow!!! :) I love all your snow, though I suppose you are getting ready for some warmer weather about now...

[♥ brenda ♥]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I do appreciated everyone joining in my snowman insanity. :-)

[Margaret Tryon]

@geertje Thank you Geertie for sharing that with me. I'm very happy to learn.

[FaerieMoon]

LOL This is funny--he looks like he's eating the snowman's brains. Okay, maybe that's just me

[Diana Horn]

Great capture. Your persistence paid off.

[Margaret Tryon]

@clarissajohal LOL...You didn't have to go there.
@ladydi If nothing else...I'm persistent.

[Susan McIntyre]

Wonderful capture. You made a lovely place to feed him.

[Miriam S]

I am sure he'll be back if he can get some feed there. Nice capture!

[Pamela Mandeville]

Guess he didn't recognize it with all that white stuff on top :) Great shot!

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

Patience...it paid off!

[Kim]

so cool. I love blue jays, great shot!

[Margaret Tryon]

@kdrinkie @hwy61 @pfmandeville @miraries @omabluebird
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I do appreciate them.

[Susan]

Finally the bird arrived. Blue jays are so colorful

[wendy chapman]

Yippie!!!! Yay!!!! You are a success. I knew it would happen. Now that this jay broke the ice I am sure the flocks will follow. This is fun.

[Katrina Cristy]

Yeah! Patience is a virtue! :) This is a fabulous shot! I love blue jays! So majestic!

[molizard]

At first glance, I thought "yellow snow". But then I realized it's probably a piece of bread. Great, fun shot!

[Rick Schies]

Well lit attracted one. Nice shot.

[Janice]

Beautiful bird, beautiful snowman, beautiful shot!

[Cheryl]

Brilliant blues in the bird and I love the evergreen-snowhair :-)

[Fiona Kierans Dunne]

YAY!!! Great! Wonderful shot.

[alia_801]

What a great capture! (My parrots like to sit on my head and eat their snacks too!).

[ GGG]

great capture! and the blue jays hilarious :D

[Amanda]

Oh wow, how neat! What a beautiful shot! And I just love your snowman! :)

[Darla Peterson]

This is great! I think blue jays are SO pretty but everyone tells me they're mean :( Fantastic photo!

[Julie Ryan]

[Carole Neesam]

[Paula Fontanini]

Ha! Too funny...I'm guessing he'll be back! Wonderful shot Margaret!

[Margaret Tryon]

@bluemoon @redfl83 @julie @dkpeters59 @mandyrob @ggg @alia_801 @fluffy @hillcrest @phxjanice @digitalrn @molizard @katrinacristy @wac @swrws

Thanks everyone for the kind words and joining in the fun. :-)

[Carole Mattingly]

Yay!!! all your patience paid off :) I am glad your snowman got a visitor. Nice capture. I got behind on posting and commenting but am working on getting caught up. Glad I saw your pic to know that you had success:)

[Margaret Tryon]

@nomad721 Carole, today was even better. I had a grackle, another blue jay and a tufted titmouse. Yeah! It worked. But I get so excited, I take horrible shots. LOL

[Lynn M. Watson]

Finally . . . cool shot . . . I'll watch for the next one!

[Deb Mayne]

Good capture!!!

[Carole Mattingly]

Sounds like you are having a bird convention now. Once one comes they seem to somehow know about it and others start to visit. I hopw you get a redbird and a chance to get a shot of his visit.. The contrast would be cool.

[Margaret Tryon]

@nomad721 @debmayne @lynnmwatson Thanks for the kind words.
Carole, my neighbor is hogging the cardinal. He hasn't visited my feeder at all. I have to find some better food to bribe him to my house.

[Lynn M. Watson]

@maggie2 try unsalted sunflower seeds still in the shell . . . they like them and working through the shell takes some time so they'll stay awhile . . . I, of course, never am home or have my camera ready for this . . . but it seems like you might!!!!! Good luck!!!!!

[Vanessa Marie]

AH, you finally got a bird to come. :) Great shot!

[oselleso]

Definitely ...

[Bugik]

Woohoo, finally! Snowman must be happy too. :-)
Great capture!

[Margaret Tryon]

@bugik @oselleso @lochnessmonster @lynnmwatson Thank for the kind words I do appreciate them.
@lynnmwatson Thanks Lynn, I'll try that.
