What is it?

Made it back from training with a head full of information. Now I wonder if I can apply it to my job! A long & tiring three days for a homebody like me.

While at my usual birdwatching & photography spot this beautiful blue bird flew in briefly. I kinda got excited, since I didn't have the camera ready, so my images are not the best. Can anyone tell me what kind of bird he is? I had just made the comment to Andy about how it would be nice to choose the color of my feeder guests. Sure would have chose this one.

A Few More Birdfeeder Visitors

A couple "just for fun" shots.

The squirrels provide lots of entertainment. There is a group of 4 smaller (young ?) ones hanging out doing all kinds of stunts. I laughed this evening......we had a quick thunderstorm which must have blown the lid off the feeder shown just below this guy. He ran all over the feeder as usual trying to force food thru the small openings. Suddenly he stepped into the open area. You could almost see his surprise & delight as he dug in!



Another non bird visitor. This feeder will only open for smaller birds. Usually the finches feed here. He must be the correct weight cause he sure was enjoying his feast.


This tells me why the other birds flee when he & his troops land.


Notice the point on the woodpecker beak. I'd give him plenty of room too!
