Houston Front Yard - Baby Bluejay

Still digging into the past to glean something blogworthy from previously unprocessed pics.  Found a couple of folders in which there were more than 1,200 pictures that were unsorted, so began sifting through, one by one.  Fortunately, there were a few keepers.  These are shots from both our yard and our walks around the neighborhood, so after these bluejay pics are posted today and tomorrow, get ready for a LOT of more traditional flower and plant shots.  Well - coming from me - maybe not so traditional...

This little guy was captured in the spring, on May 3, 2020.  Obviously fell out of a nest in our live oak tree out front.  Being so little and unable yet to fly, all it could do was stand still when movement was detected nearby, rendering him a perfect subject for the Bigger Cahoona.  So I stayed busy for a few minutes snapping away while Chenjean was busy keeping Koko from noticing what was going on.

Two more chosen keepers of this guy are below, the favorite being the one at the bottom:


Lord knows it looked like it was going try and fly away, but just plopped to the ground at first attempt.  Sort of pulled at our heart strings, knowing it was so vulnerable and probably doomed, but we kept our distance and let nature take its course.
