In
yesterday's entry here on Blogger, I mentioned that
Blue Jays can be quite the bird watchers, given the opportunity.
I'm following up on that post with
information that I recently learned re this bird type and that is jays
"of ages have a 'bald stage' in which all capital-tract feathers, those on the head, are dropped nearly simultaneously, resulting in individuals being nearly bald for about a week."
A jay experiencing this visited
my garden the other week and he/she can be seen in the photograph atop this entry (as well as in the ones directly below) where he/she is alighting on one of my
bird feeders.
As you may know, dear reader, the Blue jay bird type, has a story within volume three of my hardcover book series,
Words In Our Beak.
