Back yard, west Knox County, TN My crows also come for the peanuts I throw out in the mornings for the blue jays. And with this cold weather I've been scattering some fruit, nut & seed mixture on the ground and see them eating that too, probably the nuts. They especially enjoy, and have come to expect, the leftover cat food I put out for them in another part of the yard away from the feeders. FOS purple finch on the sunflower seed feeder this afternoon, a female or immature. And this morning the Common Grackle that I saw in the yard Monday was also at the feeders. Grackles are pretty scarce in this area in the winter. Other than that just the usual crew but a lot of activity.
