Juvenile Gray Jays are abundant this year in the Crane Lake area. I am seeing them everywhere. My neighbor has a family of 5 coming into his feeders, 2 adults and 3 juveniles. They had a very successful year in raising young ones, despite the cool, dreary late winter and spring weather. I have a photo posted at the following location: http://visitcranelake.com/images/blog/Gray%20Jay,%20juvenile%201.JPG
The young ones are very curious and tame. They make a bill clacking noise when they are begging. (I tried to upload the photo from my PC to the showcase and/or the MN gallery on the MOU website, but my photo is too big, despite the fact that I reduced it to 400 x 300 pixels and it's only 100kb. Any advice on how to upload would be appreciated; I guess it has something to do with the exif header) Dee Kuder Crane Lake, MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
