Mountain Bird

Look at my new friend! Found this little guy hanging out by the hiking trail. Probably lives near by, and is accustomed to us humans walking by. I bet he even gets fed sometimes. Probably not the best idea to be feeding wildlife, as everyone should know by now. If animals get used to picking up the odd morsel from the same general area, obviously then this can attract other more larger wildlife, the kind we carry spray to protect us from. He was so close, which allowed me to get some decent photos in a hurry. It was a fun and memorable encounter. Till next time little friend.

This really looks good. A new friend. True, by feeding, it will definitely bring in large number of wild friends for sure. 🙂

Handsome bird with a strong beak able to fend for itself by the look of it. Nice captures in colour giving more detail to identify.

It actually made a run for my mixed nuts and knocked them out of my hand!!

Arriving with a beak like that I would drop the nuts/seed for fear of being pecked in the process.

The bird startled me with that dive for my mixed nuts. It was surprising!

Your friend appears to know what he's looking for by the hike trail, I'm sure he wanted some food and entertainment. I love the way he posed for some photographs.

He's a cute bird! Feeding wildlife never ends well. Good thing you have the poles and the bear spray when you're out in the hills!
