I was off work today for Remembrance Day and I was glad

to be home when it was light outside. I went out first thing to fill the 

heated birdbath and the feeders. Soon we had  some action.

I managed to get pictures of most of the guests. A Robin forlornly skulked

around by the frozen pond but did not come close enough for a good photo.

I am not sure why it did not visit the birdbath. A Magpie cast a disdainful

eye on the assembly but found nothing to it's liking and quickly left,

if I had put out cheezies it would stay ( I have done that  in the past so
visitors can see one close up )  but I don't like feeding junk food.

Otherwise we had the usual suspects.

 

My Blue Jay experiment is working well. I mentioned earlier

I never had them in the yard so I put out peanuts. I was

excited when I got one, then a few weeks later I had two,

today I had three at one time!!!

Someone else likes peanuts.

Someone was a little piggy.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them. "

"Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth

countries since the end of World War I to remember the members

of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Remembrance Day

is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I

on that date in 1918; hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the

11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice

("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.)"
