Okay, you birders……… this flicker showed up this morning. Along with the flicker, 15 or 20 of these blue-gray birds came in at the same time. Last year, for the first time in 47 years, it was all flickers.

Question, what is the blue-gray bird?

It’s kinda hard to tell for sure, but they are probably Pinon Jays or Scrub Jays. Around here they’re called “pinon squawkers”. I’ll get some closer views in a couple days when I get things downloaded.

The ones we have look a little different, but they travel in big noisy flocks.

I down loaded a Bird Identification app. and a Piñon Jay is what it came back with too. After thinking about it, I have seen them out in the Piñons in the past, but never knew what they were called.

Tks blue!!!

Our whitetail will begin shedding antlers in about another month. Got me to thinking about a huge set I found for a friend on his ranch. Over 200 BC. Pic is as they laid when found!

First bighorn sheep I ever laid eyes on was in that canyon in the Seminoes- early 70s...

This turkey showed up. Pretty cool. All the animals with brains left, so all we have now is birds

Be honest, you’ll miss it. God knows I’ve spent a lot of time in sweat pants and boggs lately

The snow was so deep there for a while, the bell-cow turkey was having to use it’s wings to break trail. Sorta hard to watch them stuck n the snow and having to sit there and rest. They spend a lot more time in the trees now.

Yellow bellied sapsucker who is a LONG way from home. I suppose spreading non-native species all over their yards like I did with that maple helps their expansion?

Are those the ones that fly in huge flocks south in the fall, making a combined racket you can hear for miles?

These are the guys that scream at you when you’re trying to sneak up on something.

The scrub jays and/or mexican jays are the ones here in the PJ‘s that assemble in huge flocks. I’ve seen flocks here in the hundreds.

At least that’s how it seems to me in this little corner.

RRCowboyStar · Feb 7, 2023

This poor guy must have done something when in velvet. You can see where he has a sore on his shoulder from rubbing.

Mexican Jay or what’s known locally as a scrub jay. These guys get together in smaller flocks - nothing like the pinon jays which have hundreds. Oddly I don’t have any pinon jays this year.

….and my favorite, the Canada Jay. This completes Blue’s Jay trilogy.?

The feeder is for big birds too. This gal smoked a little bird (in her claws) and all I caught was the puff of feathers.

Iguana that somehow escaped a crocodile. He's keeping still because the croc is nearby. This iguana was on the large side

Crocodile wondering where his dinner got off to

nontypical · Feb 12, 2023

These iguanas were raiding the crocodile nests in the sand. I wasn't quick enough to get pics as we floated by of the other 3 that were actually in the digging process
