Good morning, Jo!
I have always been drawn to the color and pattern of Bluejays, but, especially in the winter living in New England. The Bluejay and Cardinals always colored the landscape there, along with many more varieties, but, at the time, everything else (it seemed) migrated south for the cold winters.
Is it me, or do fewer birds migrate? Even the Canadian Geese stick around all winter. I just realized I was talking about birds and threw the geese in there. eyeroll
The Bluejays used to be very territorial and once I got caught up in a pine tree trying to spy on a bird nest and was divebombed by a pair of Bluejays. Whoops!!
I love your post. Mother Nature provides some interesting sights.
Thanks so much Denise.🌺 Mother Nature always provides something or some critter to photograph and write about. Yesterday a brown-headed cowbird paid a visit.
I’ve heard stories of blue Jays dive bombing others here on Hive, such as, @deerjay and @thebigweed. They are protective if you are anywhere near their nest.
The geese will stay all winter if there is a food supply for them.
How cute the little goslings and the mother goose.🦆
I love the cowbirds and haven't seen one in my area here, so not sure if they come down this south.
They are one of the noisiest, most overprotective birds I have ever seen. But, they are so beautiful, it is forgiven. Nobody feeds the geese here, but, the water doesn't freeze so they may get enough to eat here.
I think all of the birds/ducks are adorable. I don't know why people always grumble about the geese. :))
