Two Birds With One Click

Had my camera setup with the tripod behind the patio doors today. Filled up the deck feeder with peanuts and waited. Did not take long before the birds started showing up. So cool to watch and see who shows up. Blue Jays are common this time of year. Cardinals, doves, grackles, black birds, crows and this woodpecker. A red bellied woodpecker I call Ivar. Snapped this shot and got both birds in one photo. Usually the birds wait for Ivar to eat, but this blue jay was able to sneak a peanut. More of those little things to enjoy in life. Photo is mine. @CarolDM

@CarolDM Sorry, I missed this. But why do you call the bird 'Ivar'? Do you give all the birds that come to your feeder names?

@MALUSE No problem. I call him that for fun. He visits several times a day. Of course there are not names for all the birds. Too many to keep up with.

He only gave him a look, and then he left.

You got a great shot. That looks professional. I bet they would feature that in an Audobon magazine.

@CarolDM The blue jays look the same, the European robins are very different from your robins.

They talk without words. Glad you see blue jays too. Do they look the same?

What a beautiful scene. We have two big trees that are always nested by birds. I see their nests with their babies and I am so excited to watch them grow each day. I watch them every morning from our terrace as the sunrises and their mom is like spoon feeding them using her beak.

Thank you! On my deck feeder. I see the birds nesting in the spring as well. Such joy and happiness. We are in winter right now.
