    Baby bird ruptured air sac

    Hello all, I have a question. Yesterday I found an abandoned baby Blue Jay far from the nest and surrounded by cats. I took it in and checked it out, all seemed good, no visible wounds. I fed it small pieces of softened dog food through the rest of the day and noticed it slept a ton and was not...

    This common but attractive Eastern North American jay was complaining loudly just outside the tram terminal. Their crest often lies flat, but here it is raised slightly. This is presumably the paler, duller South Florida race "C. c. semplei" which has recently expanded into the Florida Keys...

    As I said in my last photo, Blue Jays are my only regular visitors at this point. I think they know that they're the only ones getting the goodies now. I mean, you can tell that they think they have the run of the place by the smug expression on this guy!

    This common but attractive Eastern North American species was visiting a water feature behind the observatory headquarters. Their crest often lies flat as seen here. This is presumably the darker northern race "C. c. bromia" characterized by larger, more extensive white markings on its wings and...

    Has anyone else experienced eastern gray squirrels that are shy, timid, or otherwise not interested in bird food?

    Hello, folks! This isn't really a thread that I needed to post, but I guess I just kind of felt like posting it. Where we live, we have not experienced eastern gray squirrels being pesky. In fact, I'm starting to miss them after we moved out of a location with loads of them! We still have them...

    Landscaping ideas for birds and other wildlife? Which plants are best?

    (Warning. This is a long thread.) Hello, folks! I'm posting this thread mostly for suggestions or information regarding this topic, especially based on experience. We recently moved from Avon, CT to Northumberland, NH. The state has a rather greater abundance of wildlife overall, although our...

    This common but attractive Eastern North American species was visiting feeders behind glass at a park interpretive center called "Window on Wildlife." Here its crest is lying down flat. This is presumably the northern race "C. c. bromia" characterized by larger, more extensive white markings on...

    Blue Jays, usually a very skittish and cautious bird when it comes to humans. But mine perch just above me while I sit on the deck, waiting for me to produce a peanut for them. They will come close enough for me to toss them and the jays catch them. I can't hand feed them, they are just too...

    Blue jays building a nest

    Since spring has arrived, I thought I'd post one of my favorite photos from spring of 2021. This pair of blue jays built a nest in a tree behind our house. I kept an eye on them and their nestlings for several weeks.

    One of the more common visitors to my yard, a blue jay. This one's name is Otto, but when he's knocking over the basket of peanuts, his name can't be repeated in mixed company. And, here's a bit of trivia I never knew till today - blue jays from my home state, Connecticut, averaged a full ounce...
