Blue jays at the bird bath
Just for fun, I put tossed some peanuts into the bird bath. I miss playing softball! A lot of peanuts made it into the target! This was during one of my coughing days, and it was nice sitting in the sun, in the fresh air. I'm much better now!
Tossing peanuts for them relieves the pressure on the smaller birds, since the Jays dominate the feeders. They bully the smaller birds. Thank goodness for digital photos these days, as I had to delete a lot!
I have upended a rectangular plant pot, as it keeps the water heater in the bottom of the bath.

Bluejays are the bully bird of the backyard Great idea with tossing peanuts into the birdbath. We gave them their own feeder (an old mailbox) with peanuts inside and that keeps them happy ... for awhile :) Great action photos.
Nice series of photos well captured

Gorgeous photos, especially of the bluejay in flight! I have a bird bath but it is rarely used, even for drinking. Not sure why since water is not readily available! They must have a special spot they use that I don't know about! :-)
I'm not sure what you deleted, but these are amazing, specially the "in-flight" with wings spread wide. I cannot imagine having a heater in a bird bath!! Here in summer it evaporates so fast, and occasionally we have ice on it in winter. Stay warm, and cosy. Jean.
That first picture of Daisy made me think of my old cat Cessna trying to steal a drink out of the toilet. One time he misjudged and landed head first inside. But that didn't discourage him one bit. - Margy
Great series of Jay photos.. The birds seem to use my bird bath! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
great bird shots Jenn!
Stunning captures on those jays!
Yes, they do tend to be very pushy.
You got some great shots. I like the ones where you caught them in flight.

That's quite the picture show!!! YAM xx
I had a bird bath at my house in Dallas. My cat at the time loved it. She grabbed lots of birds off it until I put some bells on her. I don't think she every forgave me.
