Hello Jenna, Thank you for stopping by + for leaving a thoughtful note. Yes, the Blue Jays are the bullies at my cabin feeder. No wonder Toronto took the bird's name for its baseball team. Best wishes, Brian

A serious vivid picture of the fight for survival at the feeder, Brian! Seems our squirrels consistently win these battles. Best of luck for the contest!

Hello Sam Thanks very much for your kind remarks. At my cabin, the squirrels can't reach the feeder, but how the blue jays batter the nut hatches. Cheers, Brian
