Blue Jays at feeder

The blue jays fluttered to the feeder on my front porch and then back to the tree branches.

A cardinal stopped by, too, but I didn’t get it on this video. I’ll try again another day.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

This is one of the last videos taken at this feeder before I had to take it down. A raccoon almost destroyed it when it went to eat the bird’s food.

I have to find a place a raccoon can’t reach or climb up to. That’s going to take time to figure out.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

The blue jays had to work to get a peanut out of the wire feeder. It took them a day to figure out how to get to their favorite food.

They loved the shelled peanuts I’ve given them. Now they have work to get the peanuts out of shells.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

I heard the eagle before I saw it perched high in a pine tree in my backyard.

The blue jays knew it was there and they didn’t like it. They took turns harassing the eagle. Eventually, the big bird left the tree.

I was happy to see the eagle. I was also happy when it left. My barn cats could have become the eagle’s breakfast.

My cats came to the front porch looking for their food. Some crossed the lawn.

I’m happy the eagle didn’t go for a cat.

Fingers crossed that the eagle doesn’t return.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

I was standing very still, waiting for the hummingbird to return. One would come and another would chase it away.

After many tries, I was lucky to get this video.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
