I love the one of the feather hat, he looks like he's modeling for you. <br />I miss the blue jays, I don't see them since we moved to this side of the state. When we lived on the west side I had one little female jay that would visit everyday and let me hand feed her peanuts.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-38972457262064727662009-11-21T15:16:37.689-05:002009-11-21T15:16:37.689-05:00Two Greyhound: thanks for the blog background info...Two Greyhound: thanks for the blog background info, I will look into it!

I have more trouble trying to get a picture of a blue jay than you have with you elusive cardinal. Sometimes when I see pictures of blue jays I want to get my own even more.
