Unusual mix of corvids at my house this morning. NOT Magpie, Crow, Raven, or Blue Jay.

I'm at 6,000 ft, in open ponderosa (definitely NOT pinyon-juniper), 18 miles N of Boulder, and got pinyon jay, scrub jay, Steller's (the usual) jay, and a Clark's Nutcracker this morning.

Hint. they all like peanuts.

We did hear a blue jay a week ago; we see one 4-6 times a year.

Hummingbirds are really thinning out. Down from feeding 1.5 quarts of sugar water a day, to about an eighth of that.
