White Saturday

The dark eyed juncos are eating seeds from my feeders this morning. This one sits on the fence while swallowing a piece of cracked corn.

The woodpecker tried the feeder, too, but saw me watching and flew to an aspen.

 
 

robin and currants

The currants that grow around my home provide nourishment for hummingbirds when they flower in June and berries for other birds later in the summer. This image was captured on a foggy morning earlier this week.

molting stellers jays

 
I saw some bald blue jays over at Zen Birdfeeder recently. My stellers jays aren’t bald, but their head feathers aren’t very black anymore, and all the feathers look a bit rough. The birds hide in the grass as though they don’t wish to be seen in molt.
