Yes, the starlings are the only ones I have to constantly remind myself that I don't really hate them. ๐Ÿ˜‚ At the end of winter they really start to destroy my feeder station.

I bought into the blue jays scorn since I grew up being told they were jerks, but it changed one day when I decided to offer one a peanut. I've got 7 pretty regular bird buds now.

My cardinals are pretty shy, but this year a mating pair of them learned they can get the peanuts too. I don't see them near as much, but the lady cardinal is the more aggressive of the 2 when it comes to getting food and she will try to beat the jays too them occasionally and she can hold her own if she really wants that treat!

This day it was drizzling, so it went under by downspout to eat it's peanut.

Just hanging out.

I didn't see what spooked this one, but this was the most unusual photo I got of one of them.

Why are these photos so posterized?

I don't know what that is, so that is probably a contributing factor.

They're from my phone camera zoomed to the max, shot through my patio door and/or nylon screen at a bad angle, and Google's AI color correction.

They aren't meant to wow with their technicality, just quick snaps of my outdoor friends. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I don't know what that is, either, but I love these pics of your feathery friends!

I'm glad you can enjoy them too!

If you want to see more birds, both my bad pictures, but many more good ones taken but actual photographers, check out [email protected] for my daily posts. Lots of cool photos, and some great bird facts.
