Blue Jay Observations

Put a glass bowl of birdseed out
for the little dudes
and found that blue jays were
the bird of the hour.

I'd never noticed
how the tips of their wings
and the whole of their tails
look like stained glass.

This particular bird
has an underbite
perhaps more evident
in pictures I didn't post.

But he seemed
hale and hearty
nonetheless.

I also noticed
that blue jays,
like chickens,
have fluffy bottoms.
