I put the feeders up to invite the songbirds, Mr Blue Jay. I'm not sure if anyone's told you, but your song sucks and you eat too much.

Sure are nice to look at though....

How much did they actually eat, and how much did they throw on the ground while trying to find the good stuff?

That IS a blue jay. In fact, West of the Rockies it's the only blue jay.

You forgot about scrub jays

That's why I use safflower seeds exclusively.

I had to take the bird feeders down. Birdseeds were left untouched for too long. Since the cats roam the gardens, there are no more birds here.
