Young starlings and bluejays 7-15-11

One young starling explores the hollow of the stump holding our elevated bird bath and bird feeder, the second is content to drink deeply.  Next is a visit from a couple young bluejays, most likely siblings.  One of the bluejays looks like it would like to eat some of the suet cake but then joins his/her sibing at the water.  Their visit is ended abrubtly, probably by me coming out to check on the camera (doh)

The Early Bluejay gets the freshest suet

I replaced the suet cake in our backyard yesterday and left the bloggie recorder monitoring it from the tripod under the peach tree.  It wasn't long before one of our bluejays discovered it and allowed himself to be filmed on two seperate trips to the cake.  In the clip below I play it at normal speed then again at half speed.  Let me know what you think :-)
