Jay - Garrulus Glandarius
Although they are the most colourful members of the crow family, jays are actually quite difficult to see. They are shy woodland birds, rarely moving far from cover. The screaming call usually lets you know a jay is nearby and it is usually given when a bird is on the move, so watch for a bird flying between the trees with its distinctive flash of white on the rump. Jays are famous for their acorn feeding habits and in the autumn you may see them burying acorns for retrieving later in the winter.
The word jay has an archaic meaning in American slang meaning a person who chatters impertinently.
The term jaywalking was coined in 1915 to label persons crossing a busy street carelessly and becoming a traffic hazard. The term began to imply recklessness or impertinent behavior as the convention became established.
In January 2014, Canadian author Robert Joseph Greene embarked on a lobbying campaign among ornithologists in Europe and North America to get Merriam-Websters Dictionary to have a "Jabber of Jays" as an official term under bird groups.

They come to the porch of the house for peanuts, that I have started to recognize some of them. As amazing at it sounds, they come really close now, look around, make calls, and if there is not food they ask for it.
I have been trying to teach them to take only two each time, sometimes it works, sometimes they are capable to place inside their mouths about five or six, they are amazing!

Photography is my passion, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!
Martha,
I visited Japanese garden again yesterday (1st Sep, the first day in spring here! Fortunately fine day) to see cherry blossoms. They are behind this area. Full bloom now. Australian Cherry blossoms last very long.

They say swearing is due to limited vocabulary.
I know thousands of words, but I still prefer “FK OFF” to “go away”.

Welcome spring, let your tepid breath move the still young, fresh green leaves.
Open the stalls of the cows and let hem out along with their young calves, open the buds of the flowers and spread the softly sweet fragance of the blossoms.
Let us enjoy the most beautiful season of the year called spring........
They say that Orange combines the energy of red and the happiness of yellow. It is associated with joy, sunshine, and the tropics. Orange represents enthusiasm, fascination, happiness, creativity, determination, attraction, success, encouragement, and stimulation.
If true or not it doesn't matter because all of this is what I wish to you, dear Flickr friends, in the beginning of one more week, a very special week in some parts of the world ;)

I've often shot the sunrise from this spot, but on this occasion, it was so brief, but perhaps the most special...
Stare at the waves...I swear they're moving!
The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and You—beside—
The Brain is deeper than the sea—
For—hold them—Blue to Blue—
The one the other will absorb—
As Sponges—Buckets—do—
The Brain is just the weight of God—
For—Heft them—Pound for Pound—
And they will differ—if they do—
As Syllable from Sound—
Emily Dickinson, ‘The Brain is wider than the Sky’.

Wheatears back on the moors. I think these are my favourite upland passerines (although Whichat run them close, but they're not here yet)
They say hummingbirds are feathered jewels and this female looked like an emerald glistening in the bright afternoon sun.
They are here, not a lot of time to get out looking. My one hope is my little grandaughter gets her wish to see one this year, finally one that has taken interest and she will be getting a camera for Christmas..
They are all over these days. Feeding on scale insects, tiny flies, and little bugs, these beauties have occupied the parks in couple of recent days, in order to migrate south.
It took a bit of effort but they are off to a nearby field only to return again in the evening. Fabulous to see
They have a highly audible song for such a small bird. It took several minutes before I could locate him as he sang a few phrases from one place, and then started again in another location. Luckily for me, he flew down to an open perch very close where he sang and raised his crown.
It was a bright overcast backlight situation. I was close enough to get detail though, and I really like the way those red crown feathers were lighted from behind.
If you have never heard its song, Check the link below.

The last few days, the cedar waxwings have been enjoying the berries on our dogwood trees. Always happy to see them back as Autumn approaches!
They make me regret I am not a bee :-)
