| I can't tell if I'm tired, or just lazy  |
Today as I was filling my bird feeders I got to thinking about the fact that I haven't seen a blue jay since last fall. These birds usually stick around through the winter and were constant visitors to my bird feeders, but now they have become conspicuous by their absence. _____________________________ "The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living."

Since the west nile virus went through our area, we've had very few, but see them on occasion. ================================================ Ultron: "You're unbearably naive." Vision: "Well, I was born yesterday." | |||

we have a half dozen of them here, in fact I filled their feeder https://www.duncraft.com/Wreat...suq8qbYaAsDaEALw_wcB two days ago, its a great feeder but 6 Jays will empty it in 5 hours. and peanuts can be on the pricy side. its kinda fun to hang it in the middle of a 90 foot wire and watch the squirrels , flip , flop and scurry , upside down to get to the peanuts Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Still here in Maryland. We have one hanging out near our feeders and grabbing whatever the finches drop from the ground, mostly. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

I get 6 or 7 hitting my squirrel feeder for peanuts and oiled sunflower seeds. It's funny when the woodpecker comes and the jays scatter. It's kids like you, who make this bus late. | |||

None here in Carolina this year. More Cardinals however, than the Vatican  ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

The Jays and the Crows seem to be coming back in the DC area after West Nile almost wiped out populations a few years ago. I noticed the impact on the crows more than the jays, but that's because there are so many more of them. | |||

| Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished |
My wife maintains a feeder and we've seen one or two blue jays here in central-eastern NC. What we haven't seen for a number of years until this year were mourning doves. There used to be quite a few around and then they disappeared, like all the insects. I can count on one had the number of bees I've seen in the last two years and we have quite a few flowers around. A couple of mourning doves are back but the insects are not. | |||

Plowing straight ahead come what may |
They are here (more than in past years) in a battle with the Brown Thrashers (more than in the past years)...who battle with the Mocking Birds (my money is on the Mocking Birds...if they were the size of hawks, we would have to kill them all for mankind to survive  )...I have reached an agreement with the Mocking Birds, I no longer approach the tree they nest in...they no longer flog me ******************************************************** "we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet | |||

Go squirrel hunting.
