Spring is Here Today I Saw a Blue Jay Perched on My Fence

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeStarr Realty RS143922A

Spring is here today! MR squirrel was looking around as usual, and Cleo was amazed at all the birds singing at our door today. Suddenly, I heard this bird screeching, one I had not heard before. With my camera in hand, I walked over, and the most beautiful Blue Jay was perched on the walkway fence. He seemed to be talking to Mr. Squirrell, who controlled the warm water bowl I had placed outside. Before I could snap his picture, he was gone. 

 

Cleo wanted to go out and play. She was upset and tried to go outside later once they were all gone. She came right back in; she knew home. The Blue Jay has a nest in the big tree next to our condo, so that we will see him again. They have a very distinct voice. I will try to get a picture of him in the next several days.

 

The weather is warmer, but with March, you never know. I do, however, see buds on the trees. The worst is over. We may get some cold days, but winter is on its way out.  Spring is in the air. Take a look at Cleo's face. She could not believe all the birds that were out outside. Happy First Day of Spring

Hi Hannah- Blue jays love to screech!!!  If you have raw unsalted peanuts and toss one out near them you can watch them swoop down and grab it!!!! Glad you're seeing signs of Spring!

Kathy Streib  Oh my goodness, what a screech! We cannot feed animals, including foxes, skunks, deer, raccoons, and possums. There are even beautiful hawks and eagles. So we have to be careful.

Cleo loves to watch, and the Squirrels are my favorite .I think I am going to look for a small bird bath

Hannah Williams - it sounds like Cleo is just as excited about spring coming as you are! Oh, the joy of seeing your first Blue Jay for the season. That's wonderful! I hope you have a very green and beautiful spring. 

Cleo is so photogenetic and adorable!

Patricia Feager  Cleo used to pose for me, but she is getting fussy. Today, she was so excited she let me take her picture. It was warm out, so I opened the sliders, and she was fascinated

March, our animals can certainly entertain us!   Haven't seen any blue jays yet, but some bulbs are popping up.

Hannah:

I love seeing and hearing the blue jays - we have a different type than the ones in your area. We have just started seeing a pair of them in the last week or so at the feeder - they like the sunflower seeds and the suet cakes in particular.

Good morning, Hannah... can't remember the last time I saw a blue jay. Hopefully you are enjoying a faux spring... Cleo is as gorgeous as ever. Those Siamese can do their own share of  "screeching."

Nina Hollander, Broker  Yes, Cleo can screech, especially when she wants treats or more food  by the way Helpfulhannah

It makes me happy to know that the weather will be nice for you during the Spring!  I cringe when I think about how cold it can get in your area during the Winter months.

Brian England  This is a beautiful time of year!  Today is chilly, and we must wear a warm coat as the March winds roar like lions. However, the beauty of spring makes it all worthwhile.  Counting the days until the pool opens

Hannah blue jays are VERY territorial, and protective of their eggs.  They will go into dive boomer mode if anyone or anything gets close to their nest.  So be careful!!!

George Souto  The tree my Blue Jay chose is about as old as you and me, and that is old. ☺️ Therefore, the tree is very high, and the Blue Jays must be intelligent. I know I cannot mess with his nest. Thank you for the warning. I hope his baby birds don't have any fights with Mr. Squirrel. I think they live in the same tree.

Interestingly we see very few bluebirds if any in my area Hannah!  I do remember them when I lived elsewhere and they're so pretty.   And OMG Cleo is one happy kitty watching all that action!  Happy Kitty!

Anna "Banana" Kruchten  I will try to get a picture of the Blue Jay as he didn't like me around one little bit. Cleo was in her glory she loved all her new little friends
