There's something wonderful about watching bluejays in love...or at least that's how I see it. I spend a good amount of time watching these guys...they're here all the time.
The other day I happened to notice that there were two of them sitting side by side in the maple tree. They were actually feeding each other! One would crack the peanut open and then pull out part of a nut and pass it to the other one.
It was sweet...They just seemed so cozy and cute...I did take a few pictures through the glass, but the site was one to precious to not be enjoyed rather than documented.
The picture to the left was one that I took just as the Magpie came in to check out the peanut feeders...it didn't disturb them for more than a moment. They then returned to grooming, preening and canoodling for at least another 5 minutes.
I'm obsessed with these guys right now...I'm sure it has something to do with the copious amounts of colour in the yard right now that sets a perfect backdrop for them. Something that was sorely missed last year.
We had a surprise thanksgiving snowfall last year before the leaves could turn red...the leaves just kinda curled up and dropped.
It's just crazy that summers over and Winter's on it's way. Just this past weekend I ran my second 1/2 marathon...I hit a new personal best time. How long before the snow arrives?
