Haven't seen a Blue Jay in about a week. Decided to put out the bird feeders since it's fall. I filled the peanut wreath, turned around to close the shed door, turned back and ---- BAM 🤣😂. How do they know??! 😂 #birds

Blue and grey and black bird with a blue crest is gripping a green metal peanut wreath style feeder. Bird has a big peanut in its beak and looks very pleased with itself.

Red #Mars shines among the stars of the Beehive Cluster tomorrow morning, within the constellation Cancer the Crab. Look for Mars near the bright stars Regulus, Castor and Pollux. Here’s a binocular view. For more sky events, visit EarthSky’s night sky guide at: buff.ly/acHGvvn
