I put the feeders up to invite the songbirds, Mr Blue Jay. I'm not sure if anyone's told you, but your song sucks and you eat too much.
Sure are nice to look at though....

How much did they actually eat, and how much did they throw on the ground while trying to find the good stuff?
That IS a blue jay. In fact, West of the Rockies it's the only blue jay.
The town next to mine is Blue Jay, CA. One of the first things anyone will tell you is that there’s no blue jays in Blue Jay, preferably said while you’re looking at the multitude of blue-colored jays. “Well, then, what are those?” you’ll say. “Steller’s jays.” And then you’ll never hear that name again.
You forgot about scrub jays
That's why I use safflower seeds exclusively.
I had to take the bird feeders down. Birdseeds were left untouched for too long. Since the cats roam the gardens, there are no more birds here.
