My beautiful Blue Jay friend perched on a nearby branch, and waited for me to bring out more peanuts. I think I went through an entire bag that day, with Alvin and the other squirrels darting around and collecting their fill, this handsome boy had to patiently wait for more. Usually he drops in and leaves but he seems to be growing more used to being around people, so he will hang around for a while and eat nearby.
