...otherwise known as Blue Jays, taken at one of the feeders in our back yard a while ago.
Shrill, blue squawker...
Guardians of the forest gates.
Jay waits to cry out.

This poem pretty much describes the Blue Jay. I could also add to it. Bully Bird for one. But that is not very poetic though.
ReplyDeleteI know Ginny but I still love these little rascals. I asked for all the good things they do for us and there are thankfully many. I will have to share that soon :)

DeleteThey are scheming
ReplyDeleteHello Ruby Rose and the Big Little Angels 3 :) Smiling here and thank you :)
DeleteJays are loud, but beautiful and not my favorite birds, I did have fun watching 3 of them attacking a hawk that was after the nest. they are warriors.
ReplyDeleteNo, I agree, they are not everyone's favorite bird but I do love watching them and their interactions. That's a good description for them, warriors :)
Delete"The gossips" makes me chuckle. It fits perfectly with the photo. I love how birds show their personalities when we take the time to watch and listen.
ReplyDeleteThey make me chuckle too Karen :) It is very true what you say, they do show their personalities when we take the time.
DeleteOh Denise, your blue jay photo is beautiful. Around here, we see the Steller's jays and also the California scrub jays. They are such a delightful bird with bright blue feathers. : )
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly Sheri and very much appreciated :) I remember those lovely birds you mentioned from my road trips out west. I hope I get to see them again one day.
DeleteOoooo, very pretty bird.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Ivy, thank you :)
