Blue Jays

As I promised yesterday, here are some photos of the blue jay and her nest.

I have only seen one mouth so far, but then I can't see the entire nest from my vantage point out on the deck.

Well, gotta scoot...I'm late putting out the mealworms today.

Great shots of the mother bird. We have a swallow nest on the porch, but they're so close to the ceiling I don't think they'll be easy to photo.

I dropped by from FeminSusan's blog when I saw you are from Ohio. My dd just moved there and I was in Ohio earlier this week for a visit. Saw lots of white tailed deer and groundhogs.

I have never seen a blue jay nest but I got the parents here now feeding a baby that looks almost identical to them. I guess that is normal. It is not as demanding as some other baby birds.

I took a series of photos of one eating half of a peanut while perched on a limb. How it kept its toes curled around the peanut and only lifting the toe to pinch off a piece.

I like your bird photos a lot.
