Blue Jay Visits the Feeders


The blue jay is one of the larger birds that visits my deck. I remember as a child, I picked up their tail feathers from the ground and admired the colors. My mother cautioned me that feathers could have germs, but they were irresistible. 

The first picture was taken through a window using my Nikon. The second one was taken by the feeder cam a month ago. Jays don’t come to that feeder as often as the finches and cardinals, but this one was probably hungry when snow was on the ground.
