Can you spot the difference between Sandy's Bluejays and mine? :p
This poor bird would grab a bite from the suet cake and quickly disappear.

Thanks Rog! Don't Bluejays have the best expressions! They all need captions!

Thanks Jeff! I really like Bluejays too. Sad that I have never seen a Gray Jay, which is all the more reason I love seeing your shots of them!

Thank you! Their expressions always make me smile! They tend to do that when looking in the window.

I have one of those here too Rog. At least you can see his feathers growing back in!

Thanks Bob! They are vocal even when they have plenty of food. Maybe they are just bragging about finding the good stuff!
