Most mornings I put out some peanuts in the shells and some peanut suet nuggets for my back yard birds. The Blue Jays my most common yard bird. They arrive in large numbers making a lot of noise. They take as much as they can fit into their beaks/mouths. 

1. I hope you are not tired of seeing the Blue Jays. They love to eat the peanuts and the suet peanut balls.  

2. Later we took our walk on the NCR trail, we did a little shopping at the local grocery store we rode past the Friendly Farms ponds on our way home. On Jan 5th we saw a big flock of Canada Geese and various ducks on the ponds. 

3. Some of the pond below has a thin layer of ice, you can see the Canada Geese are able to walk on the ice. The ducks were hanging out in a open water area of the pond. 

4. A blurry view of a groups of ducks hanging out on the pond.  

5. Below a nice variety of waterfowl, the male and female Buffleheads, the male and female Hooded Mergansers and an American Wigeon. 

6. Who's hanging out with the American Wigeon below? 

7. One of our first snows, was just a dusting. It melted quickly. Barely visible is a Blue Jay on the bottom left, eating some of the peanut nuggets. 

8. The male and female Cardinals are daily visitors to my deck. They enjoy the little peanut nuggets. 

9. The Blue Jays are another common yard bird for me, they love the peanuts in the shell. But, they we eat anything I put out there.
