This time I'm sure

I'm finally seeing birds regularly. There is at least a pair of these silly Blue Jays.
They like the sunflower seeds and throw anything else on the ground. Messy birds.
Then there is this pair. They are so beautiful.


The male has the most beautiful song. Grandma always described it as "pretty bird" but it seems more like a song to me. He also stands out in the bushes. He's such a show off.

I've seen as many as 6 starlings around the feeder also but can't seem to get a good picture of them. They move too fast. I'm filling this thing every two days now and Smokey is not getting much if any of it.
