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.

Man is he a great looking bird!!! Another stunner as always, Vicki!!! You definitely have an eye for this gig!!! :)


I know everything has to eat, but nature certainly shows us how brutally unapologetic it is during meal times. It's definitely not an easy thing to see.
