Scrub Jay

Scrub Jay

The scrub jay is a very common bird around here. I see them chasing other birds away from the feeder, in the trees, bushes . . . just about everywhere. They have a very raucous voice and most times can be heard before they are seen. Maralee  

Geese Overhead

These geese flew right over my head while walking this week. They were almost too close to get a decent shot with a 300mm lens. Then they landed just upstream from where I was walking and met up with another group of geese. Maralee  

Goose

I t has always amazed me to see the large, ungainly looking birds, balance themselves on one foot standing on a rock. They do it all the time, but it just doesn't look natural. Maralee

Jays

I had two different jays competing for food at the feeder last week . . . a scrub jay and a steller's jay. The scrub jay won. Maralee  

Hummingbird

I still have one hummingbird showing up at my feeder. Maybe it's the same one who stayed around half the winter last year. Maralee
