If at first you don't succeed...

This determined Scrub Jay was not satisfied with eating seeds off the ground. He squawked and complained about his predicament for a while and then finally managed to get up onto the feeder and keep his balance so he could get the good stuff.

I'll tell you, he was a sight to watch! At one point he was hanging onto the pole at the right and trying to reach over to get the seed that way. Finally, he shimmied onto the rim (although he didn't seem too comfortable or happy about it!) and went to town.

The moral of the story is: If you see something you want, Don't Give Up!!!
