We call him “Crash”!

We just had our third snow of the season. More snow than the first time and much less than the second. The birds – Mountain Chickadees, Plain Titmice, Acorn Woodpeckers & Stellar's Jays- show up in the early morning looking for handouts. We provide black oil sunflower seeds and peanuts which they quickly grab, take away to eat and then quickly return for more.

On the railing where we'd piled some seeds in the soft snow, an aggressive, but nervous Stellar's Jay came rushing in to grab some seeds, panicked and lost his footing. ~B
