A shot from Sunday afternoon of week 43. It was alternating between light rain and wet snow. I had set the camera up because there had been two Fox Sparrows in the yard earlier.
The Fox Sparrows didn’t reappear but I got shots of various species including this Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata). I think it’s just the angle of the birds head that’s making it look grumpy.

Great shot, David! 🙂
They are rare in our area anymore, as they were very susceptible to the West Nile virus.
Thanks Tom. They’re still quite common in this part of Ontario. Much more common than they were in Saskatchewan when I lived there.
