It was a very windy, snowy and overall just plain blustery kind of day here in Western New York. We've been very lucky this winter, though - with mild temperatures and a record low of snowfall for the season. I'll take it! But I've missed the activity at the feeders - and I've missed some very special "friends" at the feeders too: Carolina Wren, Song Sparrow, Brown Creeper, Common Redpoll, Pine Siskin, and the Pileated Woodpecker. I've only had a few visits from the American Tree Sparrow, where last winter, he was a common sighting.
I thoroughly enjoyed a visit from a rather wind-blown Blue Jay today. In spite of the wind and snow, this guy came back again and again for some treats. He was a real trooper and seemed to have a special preference for the bark butter.

Absolutely beautiful photography of this Blue Jay. Thank you for sharing!
