Swallow it whole
Lens: Pentax DA 55-300 PLM + 1.4X TC Camera: Pentax KP ISO: 560 Shutter Speed: 1/750s Aperture: F9.5

Our Blue Jays often eat from the squirrel feeder rather than from the bird feeder.
Usually they fly to an adjacent tree and take apart their "find" to get to the true nutrient, but this one tried to eat it whole as I watched through the glass door out to the deck and beyond.

Appears it be painful going in, and at least as much so going out. Thanks for the unique photo.

Thank you for your comment.

It is a good thing I took my photo when I did. In the next few seconds, he made some quick motion - then was gone. When I realized what it showed, I sent the photo to my daughters, one of whom asked "Is he OK?" My only answer was "I don't see any dead birds around". I don't know what that quick departing motion consisted of, but I guess he managed to dislodge the corn - then leave as a wiser bird.
