Since putting my feeders back up the thieving Blue Jays have cleaned me out  
of a 16kg bag in two weeks. Somewhere in my neighbourhood there is a hollow  
tree stuffed with black oil sunflower seeds.

Of passing interest are semi regular Evening Grosbeaks, which have been  
rare in these parts last few years. A regular pair of Northern Cardinals  
with occasional juvenile; White Throated Sparrows; Song Sparrows; Black  
Capped Chickadees; a White Breasted Nuthatch; a pair of Northern Flickers;  
a regular male Ring Necked Pheasant and irregular female; Dark Eyed Juncos.  
Purple Finches.

No American Goldfinches so far which is unusual.

Also an abundance of Mourning Doves, The proliferation of this species in  
these parts amazes me.
