Feathered Friday ~ I Feel Like I'm Being Watched
While enjoying a coffee and some warm beignets with powdered sugar and vanilla-maple syrup, I got the feeling I was being watched...like someone was after my beignets. Could it be these feathered fiends? Nahhhh! They're just some cute birds sitting in the trees by my table and posing for #FeatheredFriday, the weekly photo challenge created by @keithboone.

haha! howdy sir kunschj! This is so well put together and the photos are excellent sir. And the coolest part is that you got the shots while having warm beignets with powdered sugar and vanilla-maple syrup! lol. You can't beat that with a stick!
Thanks janton. I really appreciate those kind words. Man, I could really use some of those warm beignets this morning :-)
Howdy sir kunschj! You are very welcome, I don't even know what beignets are but they sound good like some kind or bread or pastries? lol.
Beignets are fried dough, like little, puffy doughnuts...or is it donuts? Usually they have so much powdered sugar on them that I cough when I go to eat them because I inhale the sugar.
haha! Those are my kind of bakery goods right there, so much powdered sugar that it makes you cough, excellent! lol.
Thanks for your continued support and encouragement Pix!

Thanks Keith! Restaurants discourage feeding the birds...but how can you resist? ;-)
You cannot resist, it's true :-)

Thanks for the upvote eSteem! I really appreciate the support :-)
Looks like wild snack hunters to me!
They are! And they get pretty bold too.
That bird is sure keeping an eye on you or what you are eating. Neat capture.
Thanks! It was tough to get any decent images since I had a prime lens on and couldn't zoom in and out. Had to manually focus too, since the autofocus kept getting the tree instead of the birds.
Ha! I'm pretty sure they are just waiting for you to look the other way! These are marvelous photos!
Thanks Melinda! They were pretty patient, just biding their time until a crumb fell.
