... He is so pretty.. fantastic shots Pat I've got a book called "BIRDS of the Los Angeles Region" by a guy named Garrett and another guy named Dunn, and a guy named Morse. According to the book there's LOTS of colorful birds in the general L.A. & Orange County region but to tell the truth this is about as colorful as anything gets here --- at least that I ever get lucky enough to see. My sister lives about 12 miles away and she's been successful in luring quite a few Western Scrub Jays to her feeders. I on the other hand have been laying out peanuts in the shell on my back lawn for a half a year and never saw one until this guy showed up today so this is a red-letter day. I'm tickled to death to see him. The only birds that have been interested in the peanuts have been some crows that come around. I'm hoping this scrub jay will go home and tell all his buddies and maybe I'll have a yard full of 'em tomorrow. Pat :-) |

Great shots Pat, Seeing how happy you are to see him I hope you get many
more. Being called a "Scrub" Jay I guess that means they like some scrub around - is there? Padraig wrote in message news |

My hens always look cross, even though they're crowding round me. This picture is breathtaking. Mary |

... Great shots Pat, Seeing how happy you are to see him I hope you get many more. Being called a "Scrub" Jay I guess that means they like some scrub around - is there? Heh. No actually it's pretty green. There's nothing that looks like scrub brush within 50 miles but that's not the case historically. Southern California's natural state is desert. The only reason we're as green as we are is because of massive plantings of greenery and massive imports of water from the Colorado River and from Northern California snow melts. A hundred and fifty years ago there was probably lots of scrub brush. Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing more jays in the future. I know they're in the area. I've just been unable to attract them to my property until yesterday. They're nice to look at and extremely smart birds, being in the Corvid family - which includes crows. They are known to bully other birds occasionally but that shouldn't be a huge problem because they don't generally eat the same stuff as many of the other birds in the area. Pat |
