Baby Blue Jay: I believe this is the first time juveniles have visited the yard. They sat on the perches for considerable lengths. I hope they grow up less spooky than the usual adults...

It is hard to capture birds that hit and run. My reflexes are not what they used to be.

Hi Joe,
Very nice set of young Jay.
While we always have a couple of pairs of Jays around this is the first time that a young one came to the feeders. Also, young Nuthatches have been coming with their parents. Hope you get to see a young Red-headed woodpecker.

Nice pictures! Blue Jays are such beautiful birds. It's really fun to see them in the bird bath.

Thanks.

Yes I have seen young Red-headed, Red-bellied, Downy woodpeckers and perhaps even Hairy. Over the years I have accumulated 21,000 + bird images. Here is a Red-headed from a few seasons ago.
