When the sharpie(who did get a blue jay yesterday) is nearby the birds  
all leave or freeze in place. This morning with a barred owl in the  
tree next to the feeder it was business as usual, with chickadees  
flitting around and cardinal pair eating on the ground. Will the owl  
not take a bird? I did notice a dearth of squirrels.
thanks for the info.
