Description
Mr. Scrub Jay wants his morning peanuts! (This cheeky fellow has been known to sneak inside and take them from the basket, if I leave the door ajar.) They are great fun to feed because of their method of choosing a peanut. They pick each one up trying to find the heaviest. Then, they hide them for later, so you will find peanuts in your flower pots and throughout the garden.
Now that he is older, he has to contend with his mate. She watches where he hides them, takes them out and puts them somewhere else. Then he comes back and cocks his head as if to say, "I could have sworn that I put it here"!

Awesome capture! Scrub Jays are one of my favorite birds, and friendly too!

Thank you very much, Carol! They are one of my favorites too. When I was a teenager I trained one to eat out of my hand!

While gorgeous in the capture and presentation Caitlyn, I have never seen this bird before, so an extra treat for me! It is a true honor and privilege to FEATURE this creative and wondrous piece of art work on the WFS site, from one of our honored and prestigious members. This awesome piece of beauty is what we are looking for to promote and let others see, including other artists and potential customers, as your works are some of the Best of the Best in my Book! Thanks much for sharing this beauty with us. Liked Forever, Elvis

Thanks so much, Randy, for the feature in Wisconsin Flowers and Scenery and the like! I think this particular scrub jay is still a little immature because their head feathers are usually much brighter. Thanks again!
