My birds happily greeted me this morning and seemed glad I was back after a three week hiatus. I was sure glad to see them. The stellar jays are around and so are Lois and Clark (my Clark's Nutcrackers) and all my gray jays. They've been feasting on some pecan chips and dried cranberries.
I walked down to the frozen pond near my cabin and whistled for them. Four of the gray jays and one of the stellar jays came. I took over a hundred pictures and downloaded them using a new photo program. I switched from view photos to import and lost all but one photo! Sigh... live and learn, huh? Sure won't do that again! I went back out and clicked a few more but the light was changing... I'll try again tomorrow..
