I have added you to my blog roll!<BR/><BR/>Kallen - I've never seen a sleepy blue jay - now that would be quite the photo! lol!<BR/><BR/>Hannibal - thanks!! <BR/><BR/>Lynne- it was definitely a winter blues type of day! :)<BR/><BR/>Betsy - I'm sure those Jays will be back - you'll hear before you see them - ha,ha!<BR/><BR/>Fishing guy - many thanks!<BR/><BR/>Craig - they are quite shy for being such loud birds! I hope you get a shot of one soon!<BR/><BR/>Eve - thank you!<BR/><BR/>Jenny - thanks! I have a couple birch trees on my property and I love when the birds land on them for a photo op.<BR/><BR/>Brenda - I lucked out on that sunny day - thank you!<BR/><BR/>Daisy - still in the 'teens" weatherwise! Good thing the birdies like my feeders!<BR/><BR/>Ruth - I agree - one of the most attractive birds - and brash to boot!<BR/><BR/>Deborah - I do admire their intelligence - especially when they give their fake "hawk calls" to scatter the other birds away from the feeders. I think the chickadees are catching on!<BR/><BR/>Abe - Watchdog is a great word to describe them! Hope you're feeling better each day!
