The blue jay: beauty, brains and spirit with a perky little crest!
I was alerted one morning by a blue flash in my backyard and heard a piercing jay, jay, jay, sound. I wondered to myself if it could be a blue jay! I couldn’t believe it until I looked out the window to see a blue jay perched on a Ponderosa pine branch; it was the first one I have seen in Idaho.
