Blue Jays, Crows, a Red-Tailed Hawk & some Falcons
Today, I went looking for Blue Jays and encountered a hawk instead. In actuality, I did not go looking for Blue Jays and I never even saw them but I definitely heard them. Yoshi and I were out for a stroll. It was around noon because I remember looking at my phone afterwards for the time as if that could explain it all and, maybe, it did somewhat. It was lunchtime. We turned left onto Valentine from Pennsylvania and I could hear lot of Blue Jays making a lot of noise way up high in a tree to our left. I think Blue Jays are kind of pretty birds and I wanted to see if I could see any of them. Blue Jays are kind of like Cardinals in winter. They add splashes of color to otherwise monochromatic seasonal landscapes. Winter is brown, gray and, sometimes, white. Summer is very green which is not exactly a drab color but it was a very dry summer here and most green things are tinged a crispy brown. I picked Yoshi up so I could concentrate on really looking for splashes of screeching blue...
