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.
How beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBlue birds are also on my mind today.
ReplyDeleteTruly awesome
ReplyDeleteI think that mothers see germs on everything a child touches!
ReplyDelete...they easily empty our peanut feeder.
ReplyDeleteI avoid putting peanuts out because the squirrels invite their friends and relatives over for a feast.
DeleteThey are gorgeous! I always loved finding feathers years ago, too!
ReplyDeleteI had my own picture up of blue jays recently. They are a pretty sight.
