Description

The wind was really blowing on this day. I stood at my window and watched as the Bluejays, Cardinals and Chickadee's raided their feeders. They are loving their endless supply of suet I've been putting out for them, too. This helps them stay warm during the long winter months. Here is a pretty Jay sitting outside my window in the 30 foot pinetree; I wondered if he was anticipating the winter. He didn't seem to be enjoying that wind, that's for sure! Thanks so much for stopping by .. hope you all had a great day! Shari

The puffed up pose does tell the story well. Great to see you can capture them just outside your window.

Is that a baby? Its soooo big! And so...chubby. LOL. Thats something i cant figure out...most often a birds babies are bigger than themselves. So why is it that every other animal...and man for that matter....grow in time while birds appear to shrink as time goes by. Such a weird phenomena. Or maybe im just delirious....yeah...id probably place my bet on that instead. #:o/ Beautiful photo Shari. Have a wonderful day!
