And what's yours is mine too, according to one Scrub-Jay......
This Scrub-Jay emerged from the shrub, pleased with its tasty capture.
Scrub-Jays are known to take part in feeding the young for several months after fledging as well as exchanging food with a mate to strengthen a pair bond. I'm not sure if this jay was intentionally sharing or if the second Scrub-Jay was just helping itself to the other jay's insect.....
.....as the Scrub-Jay looked a little angry, not to mention a little intimidating.....
A little more intimidation...
A remorseful looking jay....
Great Tammy!
ReplyDeleteI like the third one.. with wings outstreched.

Lovely bird, great photos and a superb story Tammy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and beautiful gallery !
ReplyDeleteExcellent bird and excellent photographs!
ReplyDeleteI do believe you brought me good luck, Tammy. After years of not spotting a single Scrub Jay.. I finally did yesterday. It was mostly gray in color and had scruffy looking feathers.. possibly a young one.
ReplyDeletecolor me happy :)
Stopping by to wish you a wonderful weekend.

Lucky you to have such brilliant views of a brilliant bird(s).
ReplyDeleteYou have a knack for capturing behaviour and characteristics of the birds you focus (pun intended) on.
ReplyDeleteYour pics are gorgeous, as usual!, and so well commented!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful moment I truly enjoyed.... their characteristic mimics are fantastic !
Well done Tammy!
