Early last fall, when there were a lot of Blue jays being sighted in the area, I decided to offer a lot of different foods – create a “bird restaurant” – to attempt to attract different birds into our yard. I did have a Blue jay show up for a couple of days, but we ended up with up to 12 Northern flickers making our backyard their winter home. It has been a very colorful experience.
