Throughout most of this year I have been neglecting the small birds that live in the woods behind our house and frequent our bird feeder. They have become regulars, at least as long as I remember to refill when the feeder is empty. Today, the last day of 2015, I put out a tray of roasted peanuts as a special treat for them. They seemed to love it. As of two hours ago all the peanuts were gone. However, photos of the birds remain for us to enjoy.

Woodpeckers also showed up, but the following female ignored the peanuts and climbed up toward the regular bird feeder.

Happy New Year and the best of everything to all of you in 2016!

That’s a thoughtful treat. In my part of world I often put roasted rice or leftover Rotis /bread. Fail to capture the shots so beautifully, just using an ipone:) Happy new year.

Great shots ~ especially like the first one, good lighting and very sharp. If my neighbor put peanuts out, I’d be out there too…one of my favorite snacks 🙂

🙂 I’ve also been snacking on those peanuts as I put them out. Now they are all gone and I’ll have to make a trip to the store soon.

Thank you Katelon! Some places also sell bark butter for birds. It is based on peanut butter. Maybe I’ll try making it next year.
