of an Eurasian Jay / Eichelhäher (Garrulus Glandarius)
on a springlike beech tree in the neighbouring garden.
No, his name is not peanut, and neither he nor the peanuts are falling. It just happened to be a beautiful fall morning with some wonderful light and I decided to take advantage of his attraction to peanuts by preserving this moment on camera.
Trying to enjoy fall. Best done by not lingering on the fact that winter is just around the corner. Living in the moment springs to mind. This is one of those moments to be cherished and lived in for a long time after the moment has passed. My interpretation of living in the moment. Another great moment to live in would be drinking moonshine on Copperhead Road. Maybe even on a beautiful fall morning …
California Scrub-Jay about to take off with a peanut. It got caught with it's bill in the cookie jar, so to speak. IMG_7871
I appear to have found the only Robin with a peanut allergy.... Or maybe it doesn't like this brand of peanut butter.
This Stellar's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) had just watched one of his buddies hide a peanut in the snow, just visible on the left. This one went over to steal the nut, but got chased away before it could!
peanut pinching seems to be their main aim, much wing flapping goes on chasing off rivals.
Conservation status is Amber (much to my surprise)
dark and wet again today, not much about in the time I was out.
Unlike most plants, the peanut plant flowers above the ground, but fruits below ground. From planting to harvesting, the growing cycle of a peanut takes 4 to 5 months, depending on the type and variety.
Have a good one.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

This little fellow decided he wanted to try out some peanut butter that I put on the post for birds. He must have liked it because he cleaned it all up!
I love Nuthatches especially as they are a fairly recent addition to Scotland's birdlife. About 50 years ago they had a tiny foothold in the Borders but in the last thirty years or so they have expanded considerably spreading north and west quickly. The prime driver in this is the increase and popularity of bird feeding and Nuthatches can't resist a peanut. A pair were dominating the feeders today and cleaned out the peanuts. This is a female with light chestnut undertail coverts and a grey, rather than strong black, stripe through the eye.
I put peanuts in a separate feeder so the squirrels would leave the bird feeder alone. Well, I didn't realize that I have so many squirrels. They fight with the Juvenile Blue Jays for feeder priority.
I tossed a handful of peanuts outside for the squirrels, but the blue jays got to them first. The squirrels were too busy trying to break into the seed feeders to notice the peanuts. Backyard bird.
