So if it’s Sunday night it must be time to post some Mosaics for Mosaic Monday with Mary at Little Red House and something blue for Blue Monday with Sally at Smiling Sally.
We’ve had a regular flock of these Evening Grosbeak finches at our bird feeder.
And then Mr. Bluejay visits once in a while shooing everyone else away!
And then this trapeze artist really kept me entertained!
Hope your new week is starting out nicely. I’m hoping to get around better this week as things are finally getting organized around here from our move…
Photobucket replaced all my photos with ugly black and grey boxes and they are holding my photos hostage until I pay them lots of money. I’m slowly going through all my posts and trying to clean them up and replacing some photos. Such a bother.
Too funny! It’s always a challenge to keep the squirrels from the feeders – one we’ll soon be facing as the squirrels are beginning to appear this far up in the hills. Until this spring we’d never seen any up here.
I love that Jay!
Such fantastic shots! Especially the squirrel made me laugh 🙂 Great mosaics!
Wow! That squirrel is a real daredevil, isn’t he? Where there’s a will, there’s a way! Sweet pictures!

I love seeing the variety of birds at the feeder…..but we have no squirrels where I live. Your visitor is quite an acrobat, isn’t he? Funny!
Jody
I think they like that nice bright pink feeder. What a happy colour. Valerie
You have a wonderfully popular bird feeder. LOVE the pink color! Thanks so much for sharing at MM. 🙂
An entertaining mosaic, squirrels probably like the attention from all their antics.
Great captures here!
That was wonderful. The squirrels are just as entertaining here. Have a wonderful week:)
Beautiful birdies. I like the Blue Jay shots.
Blessings!
Hi Ellen! Oh, this is funny! You know what? I do believe this is just part of a squirrel’s job! They seem to do this every time they see a bird feeder. You’ve made some great mosacis.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
Very special shots of the birds on the feeder, but of course the squirrel is the real comedian!
Such amazing colors! They are so beautiful!
Beautiful birds, Ellen. I have so many feeders out and they are always empty cause we have so many birds and I can’t keep up refilling them. Your pictures reminded me to refill them again….Christine
Beautiful mosaics Ellen! Squirrels are so resourceful that I can’t help but laugh when I see them trying to gather seeds at a bird feeder. Glad to hear you are settled in!
Wow…your Bluejays are quite different from ours….very pretty. And that is GREAT that you caught the squirrel on it’s trapeze act.
What vibrant blue in that finch. We get plenty of yellow finches but the blue is so striking. those pesky squirrels!!!!! happy blue monday
I love seeing these awesome close ups!
thanks!!!
Ellen, I love that trapese artist! LOL! What a scream! 🙂
And the birds are so pretty. Lovely post.
Happy Blue Monday to you…
XO,
Sheila 🙂
What fabulous pictures! I have never seen a blue-jay before-they are so pretty! You have some beautiful animals in your part of the world-thanks for sharing them!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
I would have never known squirrels went there. How funny. I love that Blue Jay 🙂 Very nice my friend 🙂
What beautiful photos and mosaics!
Happy BM and happy MM….Luna
We had squirrels in our yard all the time when we lived in Louisiana. They were constantly at the bird feeders so I decided to set up a feeding station just for them….lol It was not the best decision I ever made because they would eat all of their food and still ate the birds food. Beautiful mosaics.
These are all such beautiful mosaics of great shots! I so enjoy my bird feeder (well, maybe not the thieving little squirrel although his antics are fun). You did a fine job putting these together. They are really lovely mosaics!!!
This is so cute, Ellen. We have squirrels too. I guess they enjoy fast food as much as the birds do. 🙂
That blue jay’s color is intense; I love it! Happy Blue Monday, Ellen.
I sure enjoyed your delightful Mosaics – in glancing back at others I see you have taken some fantastic shots of birds – Wonderful and entertaining photography. Thanks !
What wonderful close-up shots of your birdfeeder visitors! I have yet to capture a bird photo. Too fast for me!
They look cute and pretty. happy blue Monday.
Your blue makes my heart go pitter pat. I adore it.
Oh how wonderful! I’m really taken by the first for those yellow and red combinations! Thank you for visiting and commenting on my humble offering. (It’s taken me all this time to associate EllenB with “The Happy Wonderer”…wonder what’s wrong with me!)
Bird and squirrel feeder mosaics. .very good photography Ellen. .I can almost imagine you sitting there smiling at your feeder guests.
love the colors Ellen!
You captured them beautifully…the birds and the squirrels.
Damn squirrel.
Wow, you have unusual looking bluejays; they have black heads! Quite different from the ones I saw growing up in Connecticut.
As a kid, I trained the chickadees that visited our feeder to eat sunflower seeds out of my hand … which took a lot of patience, and a steady arm held straight out in front of me as I inched closer to the feeder each day. One day, after they had gotten used to my perfectly still presence right next to it, I left the feeder empty but my hand was full of seed. If they wanted to eat, they had to land there … and, after a few nervous “buzzes” around my hand, they finally did! Eventually I didn’t dare leave the house without sunflower seeds in my pockets.
Ohh! That squirrel is so sweete! Wonderful mosaic!
Have a nice week!

So cool! You should have got it on video… I’m sure that’ll get you into ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’!
