I have = two tube-feeders that I fill every day with black-oil sunflower seeds, = and normally these are both empty at the end of the day (when I collect = the feeders to hide overnight from raccoons). But for the last few = days, for some reason my regular 3-5 blue jays have slowed down = considerably on their consumption, so that neither feeder is emptied. = Is anyone else noticeing this phenomenon?
