Stellar Jay

This fellow comes every day to feed off the Black Oil Sunflower Seeds I put out in a pan. He is very cheeky, very loud, and soooo funny to watch. He thinks he own the pan. Nothing much growing in the garden, but the birds are all over the seeds on the grass, or the ledges.

Glorious

No words to describe......

Grape Vines

We decided to cut back on the grape vines, to stop the neighbourhood cats from sitting under the branches, so they can swipe at the birds. Darn cats have decided that our grape vines are prime hunting ground......the cats are sweet, but silly. If they miss a bird they just keep on trying. Found partially eaten heads and tail feathers in a few places.....just hope the crows will eat the leftovers quickly. We picked the last of the fruit, just ahead of the jays and starlings. Have been throwing out seeds for the birds. That's probably why the cats are coming here. The jays just screech at the cats. Funny. And I feed the birds, and the birds feed the cats. Life cycle.........
Cold day today, and there is a mess left from the hail storm yesterday. Later on today we are pressing grapes into wine.
