What’s the hold up?

VJnature, photographybirds, chipmunk, nature23 Comments

There’s a rucus at the feeders and I look out to see several finches lined up and looking towards their favourite lunch spot. The pecking order has been disrupted…

Do you think I could scare him off? Not a chance.

He’s a cutie, but need to let the finches have their turn. What great captures, VJ.

    There is a squirrel that visits our feeders. Most of the birds fly away, except blue jays.
