January 5, 2009 - Bluejay Courtship Begins |
|
|
|
I always enjoy the lively bluejay show every morning after I put out lots of peanuts for them. Many days I do not take photos because they usually behave predictably.
This morning I was surprised when a male grabbed a peanut and flew to a tree where a female jay was perched. He scooted up beside her and then passed the peanut to her beak to beak. I thought it was a one time thing, so I didn't get my camera. Then within minutes, he repeated the same courtship seed pass.
Tomorrow I will be ready with camera. This guy must really have the hots for her because this behavior does not usually start until early March.
