Not Shy, Just Blue
As I suspected, I see Blue Jays almost daily because they got acquainted with my backyard and are indeed feeling very comfortable with my feeding set up. Just as the rest of frequent visitors. The following is what birds find in my backyard:
- Nice variety of trees, any of them suitable for building nests.
- Bushes, thickets and shrubs to provide safe areas and cover.
- Stream that carries fresh rain water all year.
- Creek with perfect soil to find worms, invertebrates, insects etc.
- Bird feeders sponsored by yours truly, “free all you can eat”!
What’s not to like? The place is perfect for any species of birds…Don’t you think?
I’m glad that birds like my set up and want to make it their home.

Beautiful bluejay photos, HJ. And yes, I’d say those birds have paradise…ah, so lucky. 😀
Thanks Jet! You’re extremely kind! 🙂
Sounds like the perfect hangout for birds and ideal for those who watch and photograph them.it must be quite a big space to have so much in it.
Thank you Susan, It’s not necessarily big but comprises the elements mentioned on the post. 🙂
A very nice set of pictures.
Thanks Tom! 🙂
if I was a bird, I’d want to make your delicious arrangements my home too 🙂
If you were a bird what bird would you be? Thanks Tiny, by the way you’re welcome to visit any time! 🙂
