Down but not out

I’ve seen this poor bird the last two times I went to feed the birds.  I felt bad because he wasn’t quite quick enough to get the food when I put it on the ground, but I figured out how to feed him…I balled up the bread and tossed it in the air at him as he flew and he caught it.  It didn’t seem to slow him down at all while flying, only while on the ground.

Doing the wave

A group of birds did this wave pattern around this boater, it looked cool in person.  They were so quick back and forth.  I’m not sure what they are?  I barely had time to take a few pictures and then I turned the camera to video because I wanted to capture the motion of them and in that instant they were gone.

Nuts

I went down to feed the birds every day when it was snowy out.   Watching them, I’d feel bad because I never could toss it far enough to reach the back ones or the ones who were pushed out of the way.  The last day I had some nuts with me and used those and found that I could target the one I wanted to feed so much easier so the back ones could get fed too.
