I just saw something else neat at one of the feeders. I put peanuts on the platform feeder, among other things, and a Bluejay and a Red-headed Woodpecker were sitting on the feeder side by side. The Jay was watching the Woodpecker with curiosity. He actually appeared to be waiting for the Woodpecker to get his peanut first. It wasn't like he was afraid of him or anything. It was almost like he was just being considerate. I suppose I attribute too much to their motives. LOL!
Maybe he was just waiting to see how the pecker was going to pick up a peanut with that rapier hanging off his face!

I didn't think blue jays were afraid of anything! I have noticed the smaller back yard birds keeping their distance from the woodpeckers. Those beaks look imposing, but most those guys are quite shy.
