A few more itty bitty finds and a friend....;)

[curious kat]

....they may be small but still nice to come upon.....

I had a friend I call "catcher" watching me, named him/her that because it follows me & "catches" peanuts.....very smart blue jay & pretty as well!

 

[old digger]

Cool! So your Pinion Jay friend likes to catch peanuts, well that i interesting. How close will she allow you?

 

[monsterrack]

Nice finds and a pretty bird

 

[painterx7]

Very nice finds thanks for sharing !!!

 

[TJE]

Makes me wonder CK...if you ever thought of laying out "all your finds together"....and see if maybe your pieces may fit others..(like doing a jigsaw puzzle)!!HA!
Nice finds again, and your buddy 'Catcher' reminds me of my buddy 'George' the crow at the quarry.

 

[curious kat]

thanks guys for the comments!
old digger...."catcher" comes pretty close, maybe 3-4 ft. sometimes. He/she will either sit on branch & catch or fly out & catch...pretty awesome! I've got "catcher" squirrels to! Don't even ask how many peanuts we go through. lol


monsterrack and painter.... thank you

TJE....oh yah...been through that "puzzle" thing already! How cute, you've got a feathered friend....ever take a picture of "George"? Love to see it!

I like watching birds and animals when out hunting. I had a owl once that use to follow me down a small river while fishing. One day I hooked a small bass and all of a sudden that owl paid me a visit. He grabbed the fish and stared at me I let him have it after I got a close up of his claws and beak.
Nice finds as always Kat.

Next time he's close...havin some of my lunch for breakfast I'll get a clear pic.

golden sluice....."air support"...good one!

rock....great story! Owls are pretty but can be dangerous if you're small, my sister almost got grabbed by a G.H.owl when she was 3....we were walking in the forest by where we lived, I was older...turned around just as the owl was coming at her head & it spooked when I waved at it, close call...don't know if it could have lifter her, but would have scratched the heck out of her little head.

TJE...yes, do try to get a picture...love crows/ravens

Speaking about owls....here's a guy we had hanging around last year for a couple of days.........lucky to get the shot.

I love watching the birds. Very cool finds and friends Kat.

The other day when I was out we saw several Mountain Blue birds but they stayed just out of camera range.

Well old digger, that's quite neat! All my past years working in the bush/Rockies, in Northern Alberta/British Colombia, I've not seen one. Guess if I do ever see one...have to tell everyone..'that's a "Catcher Jay"!...right CK! haha!

Late in the summer and fall they gather in larger groups as they migrate further south.

Some times/winters...I wish I could too!

I wish we could do a bird section. My brother is a professional photographer and is doing the birds of the South East. Me? I point my phone at them as they fly by.

Maybe we need a place for pictures in the field with an occasional artifact insitu thrown in.

Now! that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Who doesn't love birds TNM!
