Scrub Jays

We have a couple of scrub jays who have been frequenting the bird feeder.  They are a little too big for the feeder and struggle to stay on it. Maralee

The Gymnast

I moved my bird feeder out as far as I could on the tree and the wily squirrel has still found ways to get to the feeder.  He's a persistent little fellow. Maralee

Butterfly

This little fellow was hopping from chives to chives one morning and I had to try photograph it.  I didn't have time to set up my tripod so everything was hand-held.  I don't think a tripod would have helped much because he kept moving around so quickly. Maralee
