So many different birds love this one spot on a lilac branch, to peck open seeds.
Being so much bigger than most of our visiting birds, it’s the Blue Jays that get to claim it more often!

Sometimes, you need to go back, to go forward.

There’s no woodpecker!
Jays tend to be horrible bullies, so yeah they’ll take the perch from any of the smaller birds. I once had to drive off a jay that had a sparrow pinned on the ground and was viciously attacking it. Probably would have killed teh sparrow if I hadn’t intervened. Never liked Jays because of that behavior even though they’re beautiful birds.
