I Love This Grin
This little character is fond of our brand of Suet we feed the birds!
I want to say, I love his shit eating grin, but don’t know if I can say that here!!

Oh my goodness. This is adorable, and I love your composition.

Aww… lovely and natural. Great capture!

Vera, thank you!

such a (practised) look of innocence!!

WH, I think you’re right!

I was at Stanley Park yesterday, and the Eastern Greys were thick as thieves there, and do they know how to turn on the charm. 🙂

We had four of them in the yard this afternoon! Now the peanut feeder needs filling again! I love seeing them. Even the dog doesn’t mind them in the yard! But he’ll ear anything they drop on the ground!

we’ll get about three of them in Delta … one Eastern Grey of normal grey mutation, and two of the black colour mutation. and then there’s the Northern Flying Squirrels, which we only hear and see at night. 🙂

We have the greys that range in colour from brown to black. Haven’t seen a flying squirrel! Didn’t know there was any around here!

I was quite surprised to learn it, too. it’s too bad they’re nocturnal — would be nice to photograph them!

That’s really interesting! How’s your backyard birding? We’ve had a big bunch of Siskins this week or so. Got some Evening Grosbeaks today. Always nice to see them.
2015/12/01 at 5:50 am
we’ve only had 2-3 siskins so far, and they show up every few days.
our regular crowd is 10-15 Dark-Eyed Juncos, 4 Golden-Crowned Sparrows, 2 Song Sparrows, 1-2 Spotted Towhees, 1-3 Downy Woodpeckers, 1-2 Northern Flickers, 1-2 Chestnut-Backed Chickadees, and 5-6 Anna’s hummingbirds. From time to time, 15-30 Bushtits, 1 Golden-Crowned Kinglet, and 1-2 White-Crowned Sparrows will join the mix.
I would love to see the Evening Grosbeaks, but those have never shown up here.
We did have a Steller’s Jay make two cameos, and a male a female Varied Thrush showed up, too.

We pretty have the same crowd. We have three or four Stellar’s Jays who quite enjoy the peanuts and suet! We regularly have three Doves. I saw a Robin this afternoon. Thought they had all left.

I haven’t seen the Eurasian Collared Doves in about a year.
I thought the Robins were year round! I saw six pillaging the pyracantha pommes a couple of weeks ago. 🙂

The Robins seem to leave for a couple of months. I know I’ve seen them at Reifel all year. We’ve only had the Doves for a couple of years.

the Robins love pinching our blueberries in the summer. I would love to photograph the Steller’s Jays up close, but they are very flighty birds.

They certainly don’t stay in one spot long. Makes it a bit of a challenge!
2015/12/01 at 6:34 am
you can say that again! 🙂
