It’s not often you see an owl hanging out with a songbird. This Blue Jay and Pygmy Owl seem to be unbothered by each other’s presence for the moment.

    I love this! ❤️

    Blue Jays are like a gang in my yard. I love them, but they like to scare the other birds away from the feeders and then throw a bunch of seed on the ground looking for the right one. Sigh.

      Mine don’t seem bossy, except with each other. They typically stick just to the peanuts in a shell I toss right to them. They leave the seeds to everyone else.

      One of them picks up every peanut to find the best one, and another tries to take 2 at once but the second one never fits.

      Some of the cardinals and titmice have finally started following their example. It’s funny seeing the little tits fly off loaded down by peanut. 😆
