I think that this is a blue jay, although it's not a very good picture. Will try to get a better one.
This is a chickadee on the feeder which the squirrel hasn't yet managed to find a way to attack it. 
Later on the squirrel continued to try and sabotage the bird feeder. I have managed to identify some of the birds in the garden and take a couple of good pictures & lots of blurred ones! I have seen, gray catbirds, blue jays, male & female cardinals, lots of chickadees, american robins and a couple of other species which as yet I haven't managed to identify. I also took some really good pictures of chipmunks which came really close to me when I was sitting out in the garden.
Haven't identified this bird yet.
A chipmunk up very close to where I was sitting.

Today was a really lovely day. I did some washing and hung it out to dry, watched the birds in the garden and generally took things easy. Ryan, Pat & I went round to the driving range after Katy had gone to work and Ryan was taking film of Pat hitting the ball, using his new camera. We then went to do some food shopping and got some sting relief gel for the bites on my legs and arms.

ReplyDeleteand i used google image search to find pictures of the most popular birds at feeders in this area, which lead me to this:

so far today i've seen female house finch, chickadee, gray catbird, crow and tufted titmouse (my favorite so far).
also... the squirrels did a number on the plastic feeder, so i've made a puzzle for them out of a peanut butter jar filled with seeds and peanut butter (there was just a little bit left) and a few flaps on the side. let's see how they approach that!!
