Jay Walking
Some of the most entertaining birds in our back yard are the blue jays. Jays often get bad press because they will bust up nests of other birds. They are very opportunistic and will kill baby birds and eat other bird eggs if given the chance.

Big Stripers On the Way

Two Turtle Doves

What some call turtle doves are … [Read more...]
