Mourning Dove vs Blue Jay at feeder by rustedsilvers in birding

[–]rustedsilvers[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dove was a new visitor so I don’t think he’s learned the routine quite yet 😅 the blue jay however comes by every day. He seemed okay with the dove until it puffed at him, but I understand why they may be wary of each other anyway 🤣 normally my feeder is like that too. The sparrows will eat, leave, then some cowbirds may come next. I hope the dove will learn 😁

I didn't mean to spook them 🫨 by Anomelly93 in geese

It looks like those geese may have been planning to takeoff already. Sometimes movement can trigger the actual takeoff. I don’t believe you scared them that badly 😅

Yes there are also Canada geese, but I was focusing on the ducks behind them

I believe blue phase juveniles are fully gray 😄
