A California Scrub Jay in Carmel, California [View all]

A California Scrub Jay flew past and landed in front of me last week in Carmel, California, with a prize it had found. They usually don't stand still long enough for me to photograph them.

If someone wanted to drive this picture in the Wrong Direction, they could photoshop a Circus Peanut in its beak.

Thank you. We have lots of them around our property, Silver Gaia May 22 #1

Interesting- They're apparently confident and talkative birds. I'd love to see how they break the peanut shell open. NBachers May 22 #2

To open a peanut only takes a few seconds for them. Silver Gaia May 22 #4
