Last week, I saw a blue jay sprawled on the deck, its wings spread out, beak open, eyes closed, and my heart leapt to my throat. I figure that something had attacked him.
Maybe he was still alive? I opened the door and suddenly he righted himself and took flight, thus introducing me to the practice of blue jay sunbathing.
Today I witnessed a blue jay posed in the same way, unfortunately, I wasn’t quick enough to snap a picture with his wings out. Nevertheless, the pictures I did get would make you think the poor little guy was ill and not experience birdie nirvana.
To each bird his own.
Love this, and glad he was not sick.
Me too! Thanks!
Oh that is too funny! My first thought would have been that it flew into the door or window (happens way too often around here) and he ways just stunned. Glad he was okay!
Yes! I’m probably going to start a slot of blue jay sunbathing pics for everyone interested in blue jay porn. haha
Works for me! Blue Jays are awesome!
I’ll have to get a video of them swallowing one peanut, taking another in their beak and flying off. Amazing!
I’m never quick enough to get pictures I want. He does look peaceful and yes, I might have thought otherwise if you hadn’t explained! 🙂
I seldom have a camera handy. Couldn’t have gotten those with my phone.
The way they make phones today, it’s amazing how well they work as cameras. Blows my mind! tbh.
LMAO I went to see your site and found the direction to the other site and when my son saw it he asked, “is that a ransom note”? lmao too funny!
🤣
