The birds have found the feeders

We had a couple of Goldfinches in their winter plumage help themselves to some niger seed.

Also, a White-Throated Sparrow found some edibles on the ground. We have also had Juncos, and the sunflower seed has attracted Chickadees and White-Breasted Nuthatch.

Our resident Chipmunk and the one of the many neighbourhood Squirrels have been snacking on the peanuts, but so has a Blue Jay.

But he prefers to hide them for later: right after this picture was taken he tucked the peanut into the hedge!
