Blue Jay found sunflower seeds

I have a simple and plain concrete slab patio, which is unusable for me because gnats kill me every time I walk outside. But I sit where I can look out the screened window and have a bird bath there. The store didn't have any wild bird seed so yesterday I bought sunflower kernels and threw a handful out to see who would find it. So far a blue jay has it all to him or her self. He comes and grabs about 7 of them, then flies off. He's very moderate and not greedy. He's only been there three times today.

I love blue jays because they are so vivid and full of life. I grew up in a village that bordered woodland and we had lots of them. They used to be extremely common, so much that people take them for granted. But when I was stuck back in my home town two years ago, the whole year went by and I didn't see any of them at all. The loss of wildlife that people take for granted is insidious. Like my mother, who is no fan of blue jays, did not notice they weren't around at all until I pointed it out. Once she noticed that then puzzled and worried her too. Even the common place wildlife is under pressure and disappearing. People need to protect their habitat and wake up to the problem. It's not just the rare bird, fish or lizard that is under pressure, nor the favorites of the "climate change" crowd, the polar bears. It's everything. Just like the honeybees disappeared before anyone but the bee keepers themselves noticed. Even the common "take it for granted" wildlife is disappearing. I've been gravely concerned for decades now, and my worry just increases. It's a bad sign when I'm incredibly grateful to just see one family of blue jays in an area that should be stuffed with them.
