Bluejay Seen

I've been hearing bluejays in the yard for a few weeks.  We used to have several, then they moved away for a few years.  This morning I saw one eating from the suet feeder near the kitchen window.  I'm happy to have my bluejays back.

Your place has always sounded like a wildlife haven, I wouldn't be surprised they missed it and said "let's go back to that cool place with all the different foods and places to hide and hang out".

It could be! I'm always flattered when wildlife expresses approval of my landscaping by moving in.

We have a large water oak in front of the house. We had to cut off a branch that was menacing the roof, so there's a stub facing the front window. Bluejays & cardinals hang out there from time to time, taunting the cat.

I adore the blue jays. OK, they're obnoxious... but they are SO pretty and personable!

This is why I try to stock multiple feeding stations and different food sources. It lets the bigger, flashier birds such as bluejays and woodpeckers eat without driving away all the small birds completely.
