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.
