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)

"Mom! I'm hungry!!!" ... times four .
The Raven father stood guard while Raven mother was looking for food to stuff those beaks and clean up the mess.
The parents are busy.

The Corvid is the thoughtful, pragmatic investigator, the gull is the muscle who bumbles into situations (and steals food)
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.
Happy international #CorvidsDay.
Here's two of the resident #ravens at #NIWRA in #Errington on #VancouverIsland in #BritishColumbia #Canada.
The white raven isn't albino - it has blue eyes.

Back in February, one of my dear friends and I went to see a production of #ConorMcPherson's #TheBirds (adapted from a story by #DaphneDumaurier). We were NOT disappointed!
Showing off its glossy black plumage, this Fish Crow landed next to my husband and I on a viewing deck as we were taking pictures of other birds in a beach marsh area last June. Apparently, it did not wish to be ignored.
