Mar 10 Robin - backyard Mar 11 Mt Bluebird - he awaits a female Observation: I've had a flock of Stellar's Jays in yard since beg of Feb; for some reason today I don't see even one, but they're here. Anyway, one of the Jays has quite a vocabulary and I'm not sure if that's normal. But being very smart he's concluded that when the pine squirrel is chattering in the yard, I place raw almonds in the feeder for he and his mate. Now the Jay mimics the pine squirrel's chattering and wah-lah, I place almonds in the feeder. I am very well-trained. His other vocals are very distinctive and healthy; he should find an excellent mate.
