While there was snow on the ground last week, I threw out some
bread for the birds to eat. The Blue Jays took advantage of the
feast. Our cat, Libby, ate whatever bread was leftover :0)
Blue Jay chilling out in one of our Bradford Pear trees.
The blue jay is an attractive winter bird. He fits well into
the wintry scenery--bright, clear sky, and the blue shadows
on the snow. After his burst of noise in the autumn, he becomes
comparatively quiet, and during the colder months uses mainly
his jeer call, and this not overmuch. But on soft mornings in
January and February, when the temperature is rising, we may
hear his sweetly whistled teekle note. Tea-cup, tea-cup, he
sings--a sure sign of a mild day.

Very nice BJ pics! Especially the second one. They certainly are distinctive birds.
Pretty bird! I'm surprised Libby ate leftover bread and not Blue Jay! :) We had one eating leftover cat food during our snow days. He was loud at times! Probably trying to scare the cat out of the box!
He looks like a strong bird... bet all the girlie birds dig his muscular chest! :o)
