RE: Feathered Friends: Party Of Blue Jays

Hello there @redheadpei, those blue jays in the snow really shows their colors. We have trouble with the dang squirrels eating the bird food. They just chase the birds out and fill up their joules, but if the blue jays are there, they tend to wait their turn. The jays can be aggressive. Nice post.
Enjoy the day!

Thanks @farm-mom. 🌸 Yes the jays are aggressive and will keep the naughty squirrel in line. I have the most trouble with the raccoon when I put the hummingbird feeder out. If I don’t bring it in every night the coon will destroy the feeder trying to drink the sugared water.
That's funny, for some reason we have never had or scene a raccoon on our farm. I saw more of them when we lived in the suburbs of North Jersey. Weird.
This one used to come by in the evening with it's mother. Now it's alone and checks every evening to see if any food left. I left some bread with peanut butter for him. He eats it and wanders back to the woods.
Not a good photo through the back deck railing as it was dusk. Rocky is a good size now.
Wow that's awesome My mother-in-law was a real animal lover, she would buy cookies for the raccoon and hand feed them. No joke, I am actually afraid of them.
This raccoon is very young. He used to come by with it’s mother. Perhaps she was the one I saw killed on the highway a couple weeks ago. I know this one by the color as he has quite a bit of white in the fur.I saw it last night coming by for some bread and peanut butter. He was looking around for some dry cat food but I didn’t put any out with the rain. He searched the ground for awhile and then sauntered off into the forest. With fur wet I could see he is actually quite small.
I don’t think a raccoon would ever attack you unless it had rabies. Most are afraid of us.
Well that’s nice to know, I always thought I they were aggressive, I guess they got a bad rap😊
