Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma californica)

A year round bird in our garden, I watched three of these jays try to stop a hawk from grabbing what I thought might be one of their young from a nest this morning. Certainly not a fun part of nature for me.

A stunning, detailed capture of this beautiful Jay Vicki !!! Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, nature can be very cruel.

That's a lovely bird Vicki. You know, they're really quite a different shape to our Eurasian ones.

It's not easy watching wildlife sometimes, is it.
