Bees, bird feeders, red-tailed hawk

The bees and wasps are working hard, some are dying at end of season.
 

The Blue jays are going nuts over the peanuts. They empty this feeder in 2 hours. It keeps them away from the other feeders, and the sunflower seeds, giving the smaller chickadees, nuthatches and woodpeckers a chance at the other feeders.


Then, on a beer run, I spotted a hawk flying in a cemetery. There were two, one flew away!

    The heart shaped birdfeeder is quite unique.

    We're getting the juncos and white crowned sparrows back this week. The birds are such fun to watch.

    The hawk shots are amazing! I've noticed a couple of jays here in town recently.

    Not so sure about the wasps, ( I react to any stings!!) lovely feeders, but the hawk, he is stunning, and great you managed to get those super photos when he is looking down.

    At this time of year birds are finding food supplies and setting up territory.

    Wonderful critters. I love the Blue Jays going for the peanuts in the cute heart shaped feeder. In one of the pics, the hawk is starring at you from under the branch!

    I see a few bees left at my flowers, but I haven't seen a wasp in about three weeks. For me that is good, I hate to get stung. - Margy

    I like your peanut feeder idea as a distraction for the bluejays to give the smaller birds a chance at the other feeders. My half dozen bluejays here are getting away with daylight robbery! Even my caged feeder isn't safe from them.

    Great photos! Loved the hawk, and that heart-shaped frame around the flying blue jay!
