Just Bailey (my rescue dog who thinks he’s my boss) and I - living in Montreal, Quebec. 🇨🇦 🍁
This Blue Jay has had enough of the Mourning Dove just sitting on the food - guarding.

Warning: turn down the sound if ppl are nearby. The Blue Jay is LOUD!!!

The bird feeder has been very active since sunrise at 7:25am! 129 20-sec video clips. It is almost non-stop. I think they all feel the heavy snow coming!!!

It sure makes for colorful viewing.

I wonder if Trumps $12billion payout to farmers will include the fallout from the proposed severe tariff on Canada’s potash.

What a complete idiot! We produce 80-90% of the world’s potash.

This is the 2nd day that a Starling visits the #birdfeeder. They are NOT desirable #birds as they’re aggressive to the others and their urine/feces are destructive.
I guess this bird never met a Dove - and did not expect to be chased away with those powerful wings.

Even this early morning today Cardinal was feeling the extreme cold: -22c / windchill-29c

The real reason: I would say the filings for bankruptcy among USA farmers will be off the scale for 2025. The final reports will only be released in early 2025, but the info shows - 259 farms filed for Chapter 12 bankruptcy in the 1st 3 months of 2025 alone, compared to 216 in the total of 2024.

Both happy and sad tears for this man.

Happy to see so many people came to his aid to make the rest of his life easier.

Sad to see how the govt failed not only this senior but all those in need. Healthcare is not a privilege - it is a necessity.

As I’m posting this, I see 4 Mourning Doves perched on the railing on the back porch waiting for their turn at the feeder. The Blue Jay did finally move the Doves and is eating.

The unusual couple: Ms Cardinal and Mr Finch are often together at the feeder. This morning, they stayed at the feeder for almost 5 minutes.

Amazing to see neither of them showing any aggression.

UPDATE:

The reveal to Ed of the $1.77 million raised for him.

There is still hope in humanity ❤️

Just before sundown yesterday, Ms Cardinal shares the feeder with a very vocal Junco.

She’s one of the most relaxed birds at the feeder - nothing seems to bother her.

A beautiful surprise at the feeder a few minutes ago. A first time visitor couple, the Evening Grosbeak.

Too pretty not to share.

This early riser Cardinal got a surprise at the feeder - the overnight snow covered his food!

Happy update to the 88-yr old man forced to work to survive.

The fundraiser for him is now over $1.4 million.

Not sure if it’s something in the air or a sign of bad weather approaching but the birds seem unusually restless this morning.

“If looks could kill” happens in the bird world as well.

Some quiet drama yesterday afternoon at the feeder. This Blue Jay lost his patience waiting for the Mourning Dove to move.

He swooped in and gave that “look”. The Dove quickly got the message to leave.

My favorite video clip from yesterday’s #birdcam

This Cardinal is not bothered at all with the finch eating at the same time.

(Their coloring matches the food!)

Trump is completely losing it. A posting spree in the middle of the night -150 times in an hour.

Ahh, what a pretty little bird - ❤️- male House Finch. I haven’t seen him in a while - I thought he had migrated.

I’ve learned my lesson on bird food. DONT CHANGE WHAT IS NOT BROKEN!!!

After the past 3 days of trying to sort through over 700 20-second video clips of Squirrels eating, I’ve gone back to the Squirrel Proof feed.

It’s starting to work! This one stayed 1min

#birdcam
#squirrelcam No Thanks!

Ugh 😩
The squirrels are going to drive me crazy!!! And my dog!

(I would never let my dog out if I ever thought he would catch one. I just want him to scare them. It’s not working.)

Boop back at you!

Everything is fine.
The scene was an interesting contrast of light, dark and reflections - of a late afternoon sun. I can’t decide if I like the black/wht or the colored one. Very different feelings on both photos.

Yesterday afternoon I pulled over to capture an interesting scene, then glanced back to find my loyal sidekick peering at me with wide, nervous eyes.
