WHEN THE WOODPECKERS COME IN FOR A LANDING, EVEN THE TOUGH GUY BLUE JAYS MAKE ROOM FOR THEM.
IF THEY DON’T LEAVE RIGHT AWAY, THEY GET A SCOLDING.
IF SCOLDING DOESN’T WORK…GETTING HOPPING MAD SOMETIMES DOES. PRACTICALLY SCARES THE FEATHERS RIGHT OFF OF THEM.
That Woodpecker looks like such a bully. I can see that the Blue Jay is not impressed.
Not too impressed…but when push comes to shove, the blue jay walks away from a fight.
That first shot looks like they are doing a graceful ballet. I don’t suppose we have put a tutu on a bird yet…
No, we have not put a tutu on a bird…I will ponder that idea….
Those red-bellies don’t mess around!
They don’t have much of a sense of humor..
None … .absolutely none!
So much color and action! What a treat!
😀 It was a really active day and I loved every minute of it!
Wow, amazing shots … I can hardly manage to get a bird that are sitting still. And the colors – excellent series, Suzanne. I think the nature shows a lot more respect than we humans do.
You’ve made a very good point Viveka….we could learn a thing or two.
This are super photo’s of the birds in action.
It was exciting to watch and to find that I had captured the action 🙂
These are great photos, Suzanne!
Thanks Anneli! So much action that day…I think they were all eating as much as they could to prepare for the cold weather that arrived tonight.
They know when a cold front is approaching.
You should see the size of the raccoons this fall….huge!
They swarm the yard at about 9pm…big boys and girls! They’re ready for the cold 🙂
You must put out gourmet food just to see who comes to dinner and the interesting conversations that ensue! 😉
Ahhhhhhhh…a wonderful idea!!!!
