Baby Blue Jay

Every year I have spotted a Blue Jay our two around our house, but this year I noticed them quite a bit more than usual. I think they must have built at nest in one of the large trees near our porch. Now, if you familiar with Blue Jays, you know just how loud they can be. Well, the other day, they were so loud and just would not stop, so I went outside to investigate. Here was this cute little fellow in the grass being examined very closely by our dog. Guess Mama and Papa Blue Jay were not very happy about this and hence all the squawking! I was able to get the dog away and managed a few pictures before I moved this little fellow to a safer location in our backyard garden. My DD has been digging up worms for him and his Mama and Papa have been bringing him food and checking on him as well. He seems to be doing quite well, and hopefully will find his wings soon so he can join the rest of the birds.
