Blue Jays gathering on the grass in the mornings while a dove wants in on the action despite the get outa here looks from the blue jays.
The blue jays are a constant to my back yard all year around while other birds only visit once in awhile. The blue jays are always waiting in the mornings for me to leave some bird seed, dry cat food or bread with peanut butter, out on the grass by the back deck.
Some days I leave a special treat of cashews or peanuts which the blue jays will make a dive for straight away before the squirrel or chipmunk can eat them.
The dove and squirrel join the blue jays on the back lawn.
The squirrel gets the look from the jay.
The blue jays are not impressed with the squirrel or dove at their grass party or sharing their morning meal.
Neither the dove or squirrel are driven away by the looks the blue jays give them. They stand their ground and all of them have something to eat.
Although these blue jays are on snow covered grass, I wanted to show a party of them in winter.
Now the snow has melted and warmer weather on the horizon, the birds and squirrel will not be so dependant on me to leave food outside for them. There will be berries and insects for them to feast on. The squirrel also eats cones from the trees all year long and stores them for winter but he likes people food also.
