Peanut Feeder



So the peanut feeder I bought with the blue jays in mind has not been visited by a single jay. Instead, we see chickadees (a surprise to us), downy, hairy and red-bellied woodpeckers at it! I wasn't expecting that at all. Maybe it's too much work for the jays compared to just flying in, grabbing a peanut off the well and then leaving. Dave said he watched one jay take a peanut, hide it in the garden and then a minute later saw another jay come in, grab that same peanut and steal it away :)

  1. I have a funny blue jay story I would like to share; one October I saw a blue jay hit a home run. His name was Joe Carter.

    Ok, it's not really a funny story, but it was still pretty cool.
