    I only had the steller's jay taking peanuts in the shells, now I find the towhee has been taking them also.

    Maybe the Towhee has been watching the Jay and learning from it.

    The Toehee catch on fast. Actually they are staying ahead of the Jays. They have learned to never give a Jay an advantage.
