The flocks Pinyon Jays moved across the landscape in large numbers noisily calling to each other. On some mornings they would congregate in a flock easily numbering 100 individuals seemingly flying in from all four directions on the compass. An wonderful sight and one we don’t often experience.
In fact, according to All About Birds:
Seeing and hearing them was a daily occurrence yet getting a photograph was altogether another matter. Just once did they land close enough for a nice photo opportunities and as might be expected it was in a pinion tree with plenty of booty to be had.

Thanks for the heads up. I started using the new editor and set the posts up same as always and started having this problem a week ago. Have yet to get an answer from WP as to how to remedy it.

No galleries work on tablets either. IMHO not ready. Too many extra steps, not intuitive, just a backwards step. My past was designing systems and I understand they most likely need to have less options to support and maintain but a clone of 15 year old editors is probably not the answer.
I will be disappointed if they actually drop the old system in December.

I love pinyon jays, Mike, and this photo is a treasure. I’ve only been around them a few times, on a trip to NV, and the flocks are glorious. But getting a close-up of one individual proved impossible.
