Hello, I have been enjoying everyone's posts about birds. I generally work from home so I have a number of feeders set up on my deck and back yard. The last couple days there have been a great number of Blue Jays, Cardinals, Juncos, Chickadees and Starlings emptying the feeders every day. I even had a White Crowned Sparrow yesterday. It's been great. I have noticed tho that when the Jays are around, the Starlings stay away from the feeders? Does anyone know why this is so? -- Les Chambers Delaware, OH Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
