    I lived 15 years near Tacoma before moving back east--it does make me smile to see these greedy rascals again.

    They really are a funny lot these birds! But danger abounds and they must be constantly on their toes at the expense of noisy hijinks and greedy guts McGee behavior. You see they bear the burden of a three hundred year old curse, namely that of one George William Steller, naturalist and for a short while longer namesake. btw like the jays there are two somewhat specialized groups of people I enjoy in general and the rest avoid like the plague...birders and bicyclists; on that count did you ever visit Tacoma Bicycle or Old Town Bicycle shops? Cheers and happy birdwatching! Declan

    The Barred Owl is a very vocal owl and will frequently call during the day. The distinctive call is given by both the male and the female, with the male's deeper voice distinguishable in duets; the call can be translated as who cooks for you? who cooks for you-all? A variety of shorter calls, squeaks, and grunts is given.

    Of the animals named for George Steller, this Steller's Jay manages to somehow escape the dark curse attached to the ill-fated naturalist, and thrives today west of the Rocky Mountains with an endearing and raucous bravado! Cheers and happy birding, Declan 🤗🐦🦉

    One tripod is piggybacked on another with the aid of duct tape. I wouldn't normally do this but the configuration of the feeder with its squirrel proofing required a good height to attain eye level with the birds. Mind you, I like squirrels well enough, I think they're adorable...on the ground 😊
