Hi and thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback. It is sad to hear the the Scrub Jays in your area are declining. Is it the result of habitat loss?
Thanks Jet, your lucky you get to see these guys all the time. We have regal blue jay that hang around our area and Stellars Jays up in the foothills but the scrub jay is so colorful.Have a great weekend.
HI, I am not sure these guys would have taken seed from our hands but theory were very interested in what we were eating. Maybe with a bit of time and allowing them to get familiar with us we could have had a similar experience. Thanks for taking time to leave a little feedback as we really appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend.
I love his eyebrows. The first time I saw one of these, I was with a westerner and I immediately asked what it was (a bit like asking what those little birds are in England: robins) and the answer was “A jay.” “It is not,” was my response. We had to wrangle around with an Audubon guide. Lovely bird.
Beautiful shot of the Jay. They are frequently in my yard but I haven’t been able to get a great picture of one yet. They are entertaining to watch and hear.
I’ve been travelling around Arizona for the last two weeks, there’s some amazing birdlife – I love these Jays! But my all time favourite are the hummingbirds!
HI, are you down south in Az where all the Hummingbirds go for the winter? I forgot the name of the area but I have heard it is pretty amazing. Sounds like a great time.
Hi, I think it is in that area and somewhere in the back of my mind there is a canyon with tons of hummingbirds. Had the birds all left on their migration north already?
Beautiful Mike!

Do you mean Patagonia? We went there for a short time, it was amazing but the hummingbirds were few and far between.
