Friday Feathers
Here we are at the beginning of a new year and not a new bird in sight! Like I said in my last entry, January is typically a slow month for me when it comes to new bird photos. That doesn't mean there aren't any photos to post because I have many; it just means that I'll be digging through my photo archives for previously unpublished feathers.
I like to begin new years with the Blue Jay. There's something about this particular bird that intrigue me in a weird sort of way. They're beautiful, yet they squawk and squeal like nobody's business. I suppose that's why it's referred to as the alarm of the forest; it screams at intruders in the woods.
I'll bet these birds feign danger just so all the other birds fly away from the feeders. :-)

I call them 'clothesline birds' since to me their single timed screech reminds me of the sound of my mother pulling in the loaded clothesline from the second floor porch when I was a kid.
Happy new year, Lady.

What a pretty Blue Jay.
It looks JUST like the motto of a Canadian Baseball team - LOL :P
