The Druids

Our Steller's Jays came in early, calling for peanuts. They're so loud, particularly the young ones. Their method of choosing peanuts and carrying them is fascinating to watch. One goes down the gullet, the other is held in the beak and then the jay takes off for a branch somewhere to either eat or to stash them. Their cobalt blue flash is incredibly exotic in and among the dark green of the spruce branches.

Another sighting of a Wilson's warbler this morning, in front in our arbor vitae. Just a very brief flash of yellow.
