Fun news-;

For first time since late Fall "our" jays are back and eager for their peanuts. There are 5 Steller's and 3 scrub jays that seemed to have arrived together at the same time around noon. One crow is nearby hoping that the jays will miss a peanut, I guess. We did have an immature Cooper's Hawk on our fence two days ago. S/he looked very well fed. We did not see a leg band.
