December
13th, 2014. The Blue Jays in our area are quite shy. They live in
the woods near the road and we rarely see them near the house. Last Winter, house,
several came furtively to the feeder area.
They
would land in branches above and scope out the area.
At
first, they scavenged kernels that fell from a corn ear feeder we keep for the
squirrels and stayed at a distance.
They
became a little bolder with time and we were treated to some close views as
they ate the loose corn kernels closer to the house.
They
didn’t come in until January so I was a little surprised to see one furtively
scavenging kernels within a day of putting out the first ear of corn last week.
Maybe we’ll see more of them this Winter.
