So I now know that I have had two different jays at my feeder. The first is a Western scrub jay. The second is a Stellar’s Jay. The Stellar’s jays are very agressive and tend to scoop all the seed out onto the ground in search of the sunflower seeds. I’ve now switched to a mix that has shelled seeds and no sunflower seeds to try and keep this at a minimum….
