1:00 AM – I counted eight peanuts this greedy Blue Jay stuffed in it’s gullet, but I could have under counted.
Another video of two birds of different species getting along in the feeder. Evidently they’ve all finally realized there’s plenty to go around.
More of the Eastern Towhee:

Where did the peanuts go? This video probably answers the question:
A brief squabble between Red-wings:

The Squirrels have no fear of anyone or anything:
Red-winged Blackbird has a beak like garden shears.

This squirrel has no shame:
