I'm Coming After You

Here is an image of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) that seems to be flying straight toward me. In reality, the bird was simply heading to a feeder positioned between us. Still, with its intense gaze, it almost looks like it’s staring right through me.

Not the best picture, but it's been a while: both Mr and Ms Crow coming to get peanuts (the pic was actually on Sunday) Ms Crow almost doesn't spend any time in the nest anymore, but the babies haven't come out yet - I thought they would this weekend but not yet, hopefully by the end of the week (and because I'm sick I couldn't go check out the crows-by-the-sea as the female laid eggs a bit earlier over there)

"Me, me me..!"
Raven mom delivers. All four of them got something. The noise they make when they see a parent fly toward the nest is quite something. But the nest is in a very safe place. And the father keeps an eye on it.

Feathered Forager

Groups of blue jays frequently pass through this area, making occasional appearances. However, this particular blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) has become a regular visitor, showing up every morning. Today, I watched as it swiftly sifted through the bird seed mix in search of a peanut. At some point, it accidentally knocked one onto the ground and had to hop down to retrieve it. down to retrieve the nut.

To be honest I didn't know it was Crow and Raven Appreciation Day today until a friend told me.

But check out this crow harassing a red-tailed hawk in the tree outside my building moments ago. This has been going on for hours. On my walk home three crows were dive-bombing the hawk.

This feud goes back.

I appreciate how crows are like anti-fascists, making everyone safer by picking on bullies and predators.
