This Cardi girl has been coming since early fall, and she has lost her tail a bit ago. It is good to see that it is finally growing back. Look at those tiny tail stubbies 🥹

Narrator: His milkshake did, in fact, bring Aziraphale to the yard.

Watched a documentary about birds and their adorable mating dances. Which, OF COURSE, lead me to sketch this.

Another cloudy and slow day here, the MoDos were happy that there was very little acitivty at the feeders. Tomorrow, we are supposed to get the first snow, and I have to admit, I am looking forward to it a lot.

Beak Full of Breakfast

This is a detailed shot of a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) who was around yesterday. The jay is gathering peanuts, you can see two here, one in its mouth and one held in the end of its beak. The jay looks lit it recently went through a molt and its head feathers are growing back.

"The oldest known wild, banded Blue Jay was at least 26 years, 11 months old when it was found dead after being caught in fishing gear. It had been banded in the Newfoundland/Labrador/St. Pierre et Miquelon area in 1989 and was found there in 2016."

Cedar Waxwing. (Bombycilla cedrorum)  

They don’t usually stop by the yard until the Mulberry tree is in full swing in mid-May.  The birds today included juveniles that were still requesting assistance from their parents to drink and feed.
