Baby Blue Jay

This baby Blue Jay was causing a racket in one of my pine trees!




Yes, I see you too!

Nice shots Shelly. My back yard is over run with baby cards. Can't get a good pic due to the rain and they are way skidish.

Hi Shelley,
Very good pictures of this little Blue Jay. They are not my favorite bird (although they are pretty), they are sort of a bully. I guess I remember my Daddy didn't like them getting our pecans. While we wee eating lunch today a big Jay came in and ran the other birds away!

Chris said...

Nice pictures Shelley. We do not have this kind of birds over here even if it has occasionally been spotted!! Wonderful nature shots in a beautiful environment.

Just a baby and he's alrady got that jay attitude: Hmm, she's bigger than me, but maybe I can take her...

Elaine said...

Good shots of a cute baby. He certainly had his eye on you in the second photo.

And aren't they the noisy ones??!! Cute but he'll grow up to be one of those "bad birds"!

Ginnymo said...

What great captures of the baby Jay! I have quite a few around here now. They are noisy little guys for sure. They are fuzzy and cute though. Have not seen the baby Cardinal in a while. Guess not many lived this year. The baby Grackles have been hiding too. Only saw one a couple times. I love how you get such nice, clear close ups.

Not only is the baby beautiful, the greenery in your photo is so lush looking.

Birds always look so funny when they look straight at the camera. Really like the first photo.

Great pictures in a natural setting. They look so soft a fluffy.

Had a little trouble publishing this, so if it is a duplicate, please forgive me.

Great picture. Let's hope he grows up to be a nice blue jay and one that will leave mourning doves alone!

Shelley,
He is giving you a look isn't he! ha ha..they are naturally loud but oh how right you are..those babies..they have a huge set of lungs..and boy do they use them!!
Cute pictures!!

The Retired One said...

You have great eyes...
now that all the trees have lush leaves on them, I can hear the birds, but I can't see any of them anymore.
ha
But a baby BlueJay??? That was wonderful!

Rural Rambler said...

Great picture of that baby Jay everything all pretty new in its world! I have to tell you, those pines, right? make a beautiful picture too. I love pines and all we have around here are scrub cedars!

Montanagirl said...

Nice photos! There's just nothing like babies in the wild.

Kelly said...

NatureStop said...

Great captures!!

Gardener's Garden said...

These are great shots of the baby and I guess they're just as noisy as mom and pop.

Kim said...

So cute Shelly!!! I have yet to see a baby Blue Jay this year.

That really is a beautiful baby. We have a pair with two that come around but they are larger and more feathered-out in the tail. LOL

Peggy said...

THE BACKGROUND PINE NEEDLES REALLY ADD TO THIS ADORABLE SHOT!

holdingmoments said...

Nice shots Shelley. Never seen these before.

Mary said...

Very cute! I love Bluejays and only see them occasionally.

Adrienne Zwart said...

Shelley, these are so much better than my nestling shots! Yours baby looks to be a bit older. Mine must have fledged Sunday while we were gone. I haven't seen them this week, and the nest is empty. Great job!

Jayne said...

I don't think I've ever seen a baby Jay! How sweet!

Knatolee said...

Lovely, lovely!

Shelley, four juvenile starlings have fallen down my chimney in the space of 36 hours and we're not getting a chimney cap until July 13th. So far, no birds have been harmed by kitties in the basement, and I have rescued all four starlings safely, but it's getting a little nerve-wracking over here. :)

Connie said...

Great pictures, Shelley. I don't think he approved of you saying he was making a racket. HA!

Happy 4th of July to you!

Deb said...

So cute! We only have 1 Blue Jay that visits our garden. We try and lure him with peanuts however the squirrels seem to get to them all first! We know they are gone by the squacking :-)

BirdingMaine said...

Adorable photos Shelley! Our young Blue Jays just made themselves visible yesterday and were being fed by their mama.

Dawn Fine said...

Great shots! ..I am having a great time watching all the fledglings now!

Unknown said...

Lovely images, the first one with the side pose is cute.

Kelly said...

...Shelley...if you read the comics, did you see this morning's "Mutts?" A loon was the star and made me think of you!

Rene said...

Ha ha! He's cute. Babies always make a racket. They're good at stringing. :)

Leedra said...

I love the first photo. It does make me think of Christmas cards.

Shelly: Really cute.
