More Photos of Our Blue Jays


We finally found the nest where the blue jays in our backyard were staying, and once we discovered that, we found their little baby bird, too.

The baby blue jay has a blue head, but the rest of its feathers are light gray and very fluffy.  It's about half the size of mom and dad, and it spent a few days hiding out in our bushes down on the ground before it learned to fly.  The entire time it was in the bushes, mom and dad blue jay kept a very close eye on it, and they kept the neighbor's cats from getting too close by dive bombing them a lot.
