Birds with peanuts!

I became a bit obsessed with capturing these peanut snatchers with my camera.

It’s not as easy as it looks! They are all very wary of me with a camera…and my camera and I are both very slow!

(photos were taken through windows)

I’ll admit that I started putting out peanuts to lure the blue Jays in for photos.

However, the tufted titmice quickly took over and snatched up every peanut as soon as I set them out.

These cardinals each managed to score a peanut before the titmice devoured them all.

White-breasted nuthatch snags a peanut!

In for a landing

Mine, all mine!
