This morning's breakfast visitor
Bluejays are the profligate takers-away of our local bird world. Peanuts, I suspect, are just entertainment for them. They pick them up and carry them somewhere, burying them under leaves or in the snow, and then come back for more. And more, and more. I don't know if they ever dig them out. The squirrels seem to. And no doubt the other rodents too.
Juncos like peanuts too. They stay around to eat and will sometimes
tear apart a peanut very carefully, eating a few bites at a time, guarding what's left over until it's all eaten.
Chickadees are takers-away, too, but not for peanuts. They dash in to the feeder, grab a seed, and dash away to a quiet spot to patiently open it, chew it, and think about it. And then they dash back for another seed. Wonderfully polite and considerate.
Pigeons come in like drunken pirates and swing on the feeders, spilling as much on the ground as they can and strut around when they are full, laughing at us.
