Saturday Critters ~ 56 ~

There's Enough For Everyone!!

We are having some "sharing" issues at my house...
so I decided to set up a few separate feeding stations for the smaller birds.
 
The Blues are the culprits...the are just down right "food hogs"!
It matters not...I still love them...
 
 But I love these guys too and they have been loosing the battle
against the Blue Jays.
The Jays chase away my cute little Titmice
before they are able to grab a nut.

 These small black bowls are for the little ones.
 
They caught on quickly...

 and seem to appreciate having there own feeding station!!

Always on alert...

looking for those men in blue.



This is working out well, so I will keep everything filled as it gets colder
and food is harder for them to find.

Sharing images of my pretty yard birds with 
Eileen at Viewing Nature With Eileen
for Saturday Critters stop by and consider joining in,
any ole' critter will do!

Smart move, I think! The titmice are sooo cute!

I love the jays, too - and try to give them a separate area. You got some awesome shots of them - and the titmice, too! Fantastic colors!

Lovely issues they are. I've always said- when it comes to peanuts, Blue Jays rule! At least around here.

I'm sure those little ones appreciate your hospitality! The big guys are beautiful, but they're such bullies!

Janet Shaw said...

Jay's are great looking birds. Lovely Shots!

Farm Girl said...

What lovely photos today Debbie, I loved them all.

Montanagirl said...

Super photos, Debbie! I LOVE the Blue Jays, but their visits here are few and far between, although I know they're around. We don't get the Titmice here.

Rose said...

The color blue is so vibrant and you captured the true colors. Nice job!

Maureen @ Josephina Ballerina said...

The cold seems to make their colors pop!

I know the bluejays are pills, but I do love them too. I'm glad our cardinals still come around. Your photos are stunning! The birds are such a joy, aren't they.

Sally said...

awww they're all so cute. It's wonderful that you keep them
supplied with food. And, what a great idea to separate
their serving sections! :)

Your birds must be better trained than mine. I'm pretty sure the Blue Jays would just take over the little feeders as well.

Hannah said...

I split my seeds up in a lot of places too so more birds can feed at once without disturbing each other. Jays can be rather obnoxious, the colors in your photos are so vivid! The little Titmice look almost like miniature Jays with their crests raised, so cute! I wish I had some.

Judy said...

I know what you mean about the blue jays being greedy and bossy, but the titmice are so cute!!!

Brian King said...

Poor little Mice! They're just lovers, not fighters! The jays are definitely hogs! Beautiful photos!

Judy said...

One of my favorite birds, but...the Blue Jays are sooooo gorgeous.

Stephanie said...

They are SOOO cute! I love seeing your bird friends - they always make me smile. Hugs!

Unknown said...

Awesome photos of the titmice. They're cute little birds.

Laura. M said...

This has less cold;))

Bethany Carson said...

Beautiful shots! It looks like the titmice appreciate their special feeding stations. Too bad about the sharing problems though!

Ida said...

Oh my I can see why they would have a hard time against the big bluejays, they are so much smaller. Both are just wonderful birds and it's great that you set them up their own feeding stations. I enjoyed these photos very much.
