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.

Spruce grouse season coming up

BOUNDARY COUNTY — Last week, I was on a photo trip, journeying on Ball Creek rail just off the west side road and back into the Selkirk Mountains when I came onto a fairly common sight for the month of August. It was a mother spruce grouse and three of her chicks who were almost fully grown. I can well understand why the spruce grouse are called “fool hens” because they just stayed in the road and let me watch them for awhile, uninterrupted by my presence. I got out of my vehicle and quietly walked forward when one of the grouse became uncomfortable and flew up into a tree. I curiously walked over within 15 feet of the bird sitting on the branch in a shaded area of the tree and took some more pictures. He eyed me suspiciously and then flew away, landing on the roof of my vehicle, which amazed me. I thought, “I hope you are more cautious during the upcoming grouse season!”

1. I want my children to be able to have the opportunity to have a job here in the County that pays a living wage. Currently most of the community’s kids have to move away after they graduate from high school in order to find a good paying job. Let’s grow good jobs here and keep our families intact.

The western bluebird: one of nature's finest!

Last Friday was a cloudy, rainy, chilly day and my mood matched the weather. Then I saw a western bluebird, and for the rest of the day I felt it was a “bluebird day” in spite of the weather. I was in the area of McArthur Lake when a male and female western bluebird landed in a budding tree nearby. Fortunately for me they were within camera range as I clicked away.

JAN NIBJ: OPINION: Three keys to making sure regulations don’t suffocate citizens and the economy
