Yes, it would add to the natural nature of these birds. The camera lens is only about 5 inches from the edge of the feeder. This makes the depth of field a bit narrow but using Topaz Sharpening helps. I’d like better light but I don’t want to frighten the birds away.
I’ve got some Tit Mouse coming to the feeder but they are very skittish. They land, grab and fly. We’ll see.
We have titmice that practice the same grab and run technique here. When you are competing with jays, it’s probably a good idea. Our chickadees and nuthatches use the same technique! While we have scrub jays here as well, Stellars make up the majority of our population. –Curt

That’s one impressive shot of a scrub jay, Tim. The only thing missing was that his mouth wasn’t open screeching at you. –Curt
