Brown-eyed Beauty

I have a cool pic of a Blue Jay with two peanuts in it's mouth. Unfortunately it's a bit out of focus so you get the chin hair and brown eyed version.

Today is the 4th and final day of the Great Backyard Bird Count and I think the Jays know that. I counted 12 competing for a couple of handfuls of peanuts.

Many thanks for dropping by.
