We have a scrub jay who lives in our neighborhood. He's been here now for over two years. He SHOULD be up in the pinyon forest above the desert. I see many, many, many of his relatives up there whenever I drive up to visit the horse ranch. He's a noisy bugger and I hear him screeching around the neighborhood. He visits our front yard because I put seed out for the finches. I've discovered that he LOVES acorns, so I now stop and pick some up in the oak forest along the road up in the mountains. He also love peanuts. I caught some photos of him this past weekend. He's quite tame now and while I can't walk up to the fence when he's there, he sits on the fence, tilts his head, and eyes me! He is quite a character. He disappeared for a few weeks last Spring and we thought he flew off to find a mate, but he returned alone...I actually look for him now every morning.
