Good morning, it's time again for Blue Monday over at Smiling Sally's, go by and check out all the other pretty blues by clicking here

I love this time of year, the Birds are everywhere..especially the Blue Jays, Finches and Red Bird..this morning as I was sitting looking out my window hoping the snow that had reached north MS would filter down south and give us a light dusting, I noticed the Blue Jays were out in full force, here are a few pictures I captured.. you can click on the picture to get a better view...
 The Jays would fly down to the ground, get an acorn and fly up on a limb and crack the acorn open on the tree limb... 





I'm not sure what kind this is, DH thinks it might be a female Blue Jay, but it doesn't look like the other ones around here...

  1. Hi Molly Sweetie...
    Oh what beautiful, playful photos in the day of the Blue Jay. I love them. They are just so beautiful. Now that last one, I would have to say it looks like a young blue jay as well. Certainly has the same top nop, just has a little paler coloring. The males and females are marked the same, so may it is a young one. It is beautiful just the same.

    Hope you have a wonderful New Year sweet friend. What a pleasure it has been in 2010 blogging with you. I have so enjoyed it. You my friend are a treasure. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

  7. Your shots are beautiful!! Every time I see birds on somebody's blog I think of buying a bird seeds so I could see them again. Like blue jays they may be mean but they are fun to look at.

  13. It was nice he/she stood still for your shots. Anytime I try to do birds they fly away. I must be too noisy.

  14. Blue Jays are so pretty, but they can be quite aggressive and territorial. Happy Blue Monday! La
