Look back at your February number of “Birds” and see if he is anything like the Blue Jay.
He is not afraid of the snow and often times he and his mate have built their nest, and the eggs are laid while there is still snow on the ground. Do you know of any other birds who build their nests so early?
There is one thing about this bird which we all admire—he is always busy, never idle; so we will forgive him for his funny tricks.
