They climb into the fruit trees, pick a piece of fruit, take one bite, and then drop the fruit to the ground to pick another.

This year I did count for the GBBC but I haven't submitted my results. I'm not sure if it's too late at this point. My count was kind of low, as it was really windy here that weekend. Wind gusts up to 60mph...it was keeping all the birds away from the feeders. I love to watch them whether or not I actually send in my 'numbers'. I did it the last 2 years so missing this year probably isn't a big deal. I'm glad you are able to have such great views of the birds from your windows'-)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-33134024682100704092011-02-28T13:16:44.482-06:002011-02-28T13:16:44.482-06:00I've thought about getting one of those stick-...I've thought about getting one of those stick-on window feeders, but wondered if it would be falling off the window all the time.

My hubby always says, we never have the cam handy or ready, when there is really a good chance for good shot. LOL<br />I think you took some really nice pictures.<br />I like the one of the squirrel the most. The squirrels belong to my backyard just like the birds and the plants and flowers. I wouldn't wanna miss them. I know, some people hate them in their gardens - I love my squirrels.<br />Best Regards<br />Paula JoPJ@Outdoor Garden Decorations | Home Decor Accentshttp://cleanstar-homeandgardenworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-79651591916940217072011-02-28T06:40:34.503-06:002011-02-28T06:40:34.503-06:00You have some great pictures of the critters.

Maybe next year. I do very much like watching the birds though. Like you, I have a lot of pictures of headless bird butts. I think blue jays are pretty too, we don't have any in the PNW. We have Stellar jays instead, but they are not as colorful.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-91023313109653083052011-02-26T17:59:38.819-06:002011-02-26T17:59:38.819-06:00Wow that's a lot of beautiful critters.
