    We would get Blue Jays and Blue Birds flying around our property in Binbrook Ontario when I was a kid. The Whisky Jack was reel neat to see and I remember the Killdeer. I like the photo it brings back good memories of my hometown. Thanks.
    Happy Shooting

    They are training my wife right now. She fed them peanuts one day and now they come to the back of the house and screech so she'll come out with more peanuts which, of course, she does!

    Thanks, MoinMoin. If you look closely, you can see the round white bowl full of peanuts. I love that Sigma glass
