I was thrilled to see the a Northern Flicker, a Blue Jay and a Sparrow eating peacefully together at our bird feeder!

This baby Blue Jay was not the least bit intimidated by my dog barking at it.

While out checking my yard, I found this Blue Jay taking a nap near my boat. There were no adults around until other birds discovered it and three adults came to its rescue.
Little Blue Jay chick joined us for a chat in the backyard while parents perched nearby.
In the 7 years of observing several Blue Jays very closely, I have never seen any of them have 5 offspring. I have always only seen the maximum of 3. These little ones have been out of the nest for over two weeks!
We have had many blue jay youngsters in our yard this year. I kept hearing the fledglings begging for food from the parents, yet had been unable to get a shot of this until this pair landed on our squirrel feeder platform.
