Description
I have been feeding the neighborhood blue jays for quite a few years now, at least, 2 full generations. A Blue Jay's life span is around 7 years and with each new generation a leader emerges to take control of the party (flock).
The original leader of this party (Buzz) was once a lone bird who strayed from his flock to befriend me and so throughout the years I have been honored to watch his family grow as I go through copious amounts of peanuts. There have been sad times, like when Buzz said his final good bye to me and there have been happy times as I watched him train his successor (Buzz Two Point Oh) to humor this crazy nut lady who will never harm them.
This spring I have not seen Buzz 2.0. I have a sad feeling his time with us was short but here is a young bird who seems to like hanging close by throughout the days. I am going to call him Buzz Three Point Oh and hope he can keep the family together and me close to heart.
...And so the next generation begins.
