At first feeding today (6:30), Jeeves was in the field again. After one quick
hit at corn rock, blackbirds began to show up. Jeeves hopped back, but not on
down his usual trail. He eyed the blackbirds, then flew to the top of a briar
and sat there a while. Then he flew toward the house where he still was when I
came in. With rain predicted to wash the snow away, I decided today was the day
to get some nearby shots of Jeeves through the scope if I ever am. I sat
stakeout from 8:30 until 10:00 at the East corner of the house, about 15 feet
from the feeder. Even that close, I couldn't keep all the blackbirds shooed
away. Did not attempt to take any photos of Jeeves feeding because my movements
can spook him. Only attempted shots of him in the shrub that is his yard chill
spot. I believe I did okay.
