Blue Jay’s Reach
This blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) showed up one morning a few years ago. I’d placed a handful of peanuts in the swing feeder, and that’s what it’s reaching for. Take a look at the head and neck—looks like it’s recovering from a bald patch during molt. I wonder if it’s the same jay I photographed a few days before.

the gulls and magpies went out of their way to avoid pic being taken today.
signs that pigeon was taken by a kestrel today so birds were more cautious.
Drinking or Dreaming
I caught this image of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) at the edge of the birdbath. I think the jay has just taken a drink and is letting the water slide down its throat—or maybe it’s looking at something above. My favorite interpretation is that the bird is daydreaming of a bird paradise, and the out-of-focus cardinal in the upper left corner is part of the dream.

Crowded.
[I initially misread this as "Crowed."]

Heaven Help Me
I found this little dispute between two blue jays (Cyanocitta cristata) at the bird feeder both amusing and oddly theatrical. The jay inside the feeder seems to be mid-complaint, wings flared wide as if shielding its treasure from the intruder. Meanwhile, the bird perched on the arm of the swing gazes upward with a weary tilt, as if silently pleading, “Lord, help me.”

You've made the Boss angry
on a scorching day an awful lot of birds showed up.
"Where's my peanuts?!" - Mr. Crow
My neighborhood friendly crow perched outside my window, peering in at me, pressuring me to feed it.

I just published a new article all about crows in Japanese folklore and culture. It's got mythology, yokai, superstitions, and lots of art.

See you in three weeks, Ms. Crow.
Caught a glimpse of Kiddo (probably the last time I see him/her 
) and Mr. Crow too.
The photo posting will continue until morale improves...
The alt is slightly misleading. One of these is a jackdaw. I sit in this square on workdays. I put the contents of a bag of trail mix on the ground and i have brazil nuts for the corvids.
They get to know you, these birds.

A massive sigh coming from her neighbor’s camp stopped Brunhilde. When she poked her head in, she found her lady friend staring at peanuts scattered on the ground.
“Did you spill them, ma’am?” she asked.
“No, they’re for the #crows. It’s kind of like #chum. #Corvids flock to it. They’re my chums.” The woman laughed weakly at her joke.
“I haven’t seen any crows.”
“No, they’re afraid of that darn owl.”
“Be afraid. Be very afraid,” Forrest announced from a nearby tree. “Pick up all those peanuts, or I’ll turn you into chum, chum.” Forrest hooted insanely at the joke.
lots of bird action today. had to leave out less interesting pics of jackdaws and gulls.
