A Downy Woodpecker with a Blue Jay in the background. After a Downy Woodpecker takes a peanut/suet nugget and wedges it in tree bark to peck away it, sometimes a Blue Jay will chase away the Downy and steal the food. Whenever I see this I try to make sure the Downy Woodpecker gets another food item.
