Fun With the Jays

I've been feeding peanuts to the crows and jays lately. This has led to a family or two of Steller's jays hanging out in the garden most of the day. They go after peanuts, grab suet as they can and scold the cats. It's quite raucous & jolly. Today we set some peanuts on the gate outside the breakfast room, and watched the jays come get them.
