Those loud-mouthed and bossy blue-jays, gotta love them!

With their beautiful blue crest and their lighter colored bodies, yup, gotta love ‘em. Even as they overfill their beaks with peanuts, their constant chatter always brings a smile to my face. We are awaiting on babies. Or maybe eggs too. There is a couple that have built their nest in one of our closer pine trees. Unfortunately for us, the nest is probably 35-feet in the air. We go out and quietly listen every day to see if we hear babies, wish us luck!
