Blue Jay

       This beautiful but noisy jay has been visiting lately.

       I love this picture of his back.   The pattern of his feathers reminds me of a lovely mosaic.

       I have been luring this Blue Jay up to the feeders by my window.   I took one one the suet cakes, formulated with red berries and cut it up in fourths, then I placed pieces of it on the bunch of kindling sticks at the top of the wood Pile, that is stacked on my front porch.   It worked, although he did fly back to the trees to eat it!
