A photo of the fresh snow across the back garden and the woods, the morning sky in the background blue and yellow.

Good morning from the bird bistro and portrait studio. #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography #SunflowerSeeds #Cardinal

A male cardinal eats sunflower seeds on a table on my deck. In the background, the snow from the recent winter storm can be seen. The bright red bird stands out against the snowfall.

It appears that Lucy has been initiated into the crime syndicate. She would have been unable to reach the goods without the help of her big sister, but judging by those tooth marks, she got tasked with cracking the safe on her first heist. Keep practicing, little one, you'll get the hang of it. 😸🏴‍☠️

A closeup of a purple and yellow foil pouch for cat snacks. It's opened but only partly empty, laying on a tile floor near a backdoor with a crumpled up doormat and a pair.of Crocs. The package is punctured with tiny tooth marks on the end closest to the camera.

A tufted titmouse holds a sunflower seed in their beak standing in the pile of seeds, about to fly off from the table to eat.

"I LOVE PEANUTS!!!" -- Blue Jay

#BirdsOfMastodon #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography #Peanuts #BlueJay

A blue jay lands on a table on my deck near a pile of peanuts. The jay has a wide open beak. It may have been calling out to alert the other jays to the seed pile or it may have been getting ready to take a beakful of nuts.

I'm seeing the woodpecker more often at the seed pile. #BirdsOfMastodon #BirdsOfPixelfed #BirdWatching #SunflowerSeeds #RedBelliedWoodpecker #BlueJay

Peanut!

They almost always choose a peanut. Big meal for a little bird.
