Blue Jays and more

[ribirdnerd]

Many Blue Jays, Squirrels and Chipmunks around this morning.   We have one Chipmunk who will come into our kitchen to grab a peanut or two off the floor, then run to his nest to fill his stash.   It is quite amusing and cheap entertainment!

We have on and off thundershowers today but there is supposed to very nice weather over the holiday weekend.
