Really nice picture. I am loving all the Bluejays. And they DO love their peanuts. I go through a lot!

MamaTexan, I laugh whenever I think about your comment about the "hummer wars." That is just what my yard is like now. Their numbers are increasing and when several of them get going at once they remind of a battle scene out of Star Wars. LOL! And they "chatter" now, and bait each other. The two feeders in the front yard which are quite far apart each has its own sentinel. One sits on the wire above where the feeder hangs, dodging Goldfinches, and the other perches on a tree branch near the feeder that hangs on the tree. Every so often, one of them will make a pass at the other's feeder. It is hysterical. I have this action going on in the front yard AND back at the same time sometimes.

One of my Mockers has finally starting eating the cranberries. And today I put a little wedge of watermelon on the feeder. One of the Mockers discovered it this afternoon and was having a feast for hisself.

ROFL! Hummers DO kind of look like little X-wing fighters, don't they? It amazes me they only collide with other hummers on purpose, but never on accident. How in the world do they do that? LOL!

Guess I need to stop forcing all the big birds to do contortions on the regular feeders and just set them up a platform. The problem will be placing it so the birds use it, but the squirrels don't.

Maybe a free standing platform that I can grease the pole on.....hmmmm.

Hi SweetLiberty!
Yes, I agree. The Jays really do love those peanuts. It's just getting light and I put some out because there is one Jay here already. :) They were here in a group the other day. The way they kept going back and forth in a group screaming was hysterical.

I have so many gold finches now, I have to put up another feeder. I have two large one's up. It's fun. They are so beautiful. I'll get a picture of them eating later. ;)

I hope you had a good weekend!
