Mainly at night. Along with the squirrels and rabbits during the day. The smaller birds wait until the crows chase the 4 legged away and then the blue jays and mockingbirds chase the crows away. Except for the rabbits - the rabbits don't bother the birds. I've got a couple of flying squirrels in the woods below me and I've been trying to entice them closer. Some consider them pest. I just want to get a photo of them.
