Peanuts, Blue Jays, and Cats

We put peanuts out for the squirrels on occasion.

However, we never really know who will show up for feeding. Lately, it has been blue jays.

With colder days and nights closing in on us, aggression towards food gathering is obviously growing. From my window seat, I could hear the jays and squirrel squawking at each other as they made a play for the available nuts.

In the end, each creature did fairly well for themselves in the food gathering. It probably helped that, half wanting to make sure all were fed and half because I was enjoying watching the scene, I put many more nuts out after the first batch was foraged.

The cats are annoyed by the squirrels, but they really hate the jays.

Even Sasha gave them a cat-machine gun sound that seems to be reserved for birds.

Oz watched intently, half mad, half worried. But then, Oz always looks kinda worried.
