Monday morning blues...

This morning it is yet another beautiful day.  The sun is just cresting the horizon as I pull my car out of the garage, and I hear the distinctive call of the bird that alluded San and I yesterday afternoon.  I searched the treetops but couldn't find him.  When I went back in the house to get the rest of my things, and as I was leaving again and locking up, the Blue Jay was at my feeder.  Perhaps they only eat in the mornings now and that's why we didn't see one yesterday.  But it's still early in the season, we have alot more birding ahead of us.

Yesterday in our quest to get more birds to come to San's yard we wanted to throw out some bread to encourage our feathered friends to stop by if ever so briefly.  So San of course  has no bread in her house, so she decides to throw out some crackers.  So...she sprinkles out in the front and backyard these wheat-free, gluten-free crackers that don't look in the least bit appetizing.  The only taker was a European Starling, and after a few pecks, he preferred to peck through the dirt instead.  Perhaps San should keep something a little more appetizing on hand if not for her, for the more discriminating tastes of our backyard birds.
