We've seen two or three Jays in the trees by the dog run so I made a feeder from an ashtray and bought some seed. The first eater we lured however was a chipmunk who is easily scared off but is patient and persistent.
Next was a jay. We ID'd it as a Steller's Jay. And it is very wary and flies at any noise or sighting of people.
The chipmunk is quite nervy around the bird and sneaks up only to be pecked or threatened away.
Here's a couple of vids.....
After I went back to the cabin and had lunch of smoked chicken and broccoli salad it clouded over and a thunderstorm hit the area.
Since a few people remarked about the earlier post on the storms....here, have at this one.

The jay is big! And I like the persistence of the chipmunk. He sure has some cajones going up against the bigger jay, doesn't he?
The storm soundtrack could be one of those meditation soundtracks. Just lovely. Sorry Patch doesn't enjoy it so much. :-)
