That bluejay completely tricked me. For some reason I was the only person responding to the noise above us. Maybe other people just accepted that it was a crow. The bluejay had the last laugh for sure. He was totally convincing!! Thank you for citing the bluejay. I have a wonderful memory of those baby bluejays at my window.

Wow! I love it when Jays mimic other birds. I’ve heard them mimic the Hawks but never a crow. How cool. I love the story of your mother Blue Jay. It must have felt so nice to be trusted by such vulnerable creatures.

The street is filled with trees and today it was overcast so for a time it was hard to spot him, but I did, and there he was caw-caw-cawing like a crow!! Years ago I was feeding birds at my window and one day a bluejay brought her three precious baby bluejays right to the window. It was hot and they looked worn out, but I will never forget how much that mother bluejay trusted me to take care of her young ones.

Indeed! I would take a parting shot, walk away, then have to stop to look at him one more time. Because it’s not easy to tear yourself away from such a gorgeous bird!

Thanks for the heads-up on this storm. I will have to check our forecast now!

Quite poetic…

All in all ,a lazy relaxed day for our Bobby

The news tells of a coastal storm approaching the east coast
we want our favorite hawks and their photographer to be safe.
