The Autumn Peanut Rush

I caught this striking Blue Jay mid-call against a beautiful backdrop of golden leaves in my Northeast Ohio backyard. Right now, my local Blue Jay residents are going absolutely nuts (pun intended!) for the peanuts I leave out. They are in full autumn mode, frantically collecting and caching as many nuts as they can carry to store away for the winter months ahead!
