It's good to see the Blue Jay playing nice. They can be quite the asshole of the backyard bird group.

Tell me about it. I was watching a blue jay by the fence eating bugs I thought. I go over and it's a nest of garter snakes, little babies. I had no idea blue jays ate snakes.

It's like this talk about blue jays cursed me! Today the jays are out in force and they've commandeered all three feeding areas. When I first noticed the unusual activity, I thought I saw a new blue woodpecker because it was hopping around the tree and pecking like one, but when it came around, it was a blue jay, eating all the woodpecker suet I'd shoved into knotholes around the tree.

They are currently dive bombing the cardinals on the feeders they are too big to perch on. I put out special feed just for the jays and they've been decent all through winter until now!!

They know when you are talking about them!
