For my birthday, I bought myself binoculars, which is potentially creepy, but I just watched a blue jay feed her chicks in the nest she made in my mom& #39;s mango tree and I haven& #39;t felt this much in like 10 years.

She also chased off a crow -- I believe it to be an American Crow -- and the pride I felt almost burst my chest wide open.

Nabbed a pic of her. But I& #39;m not gonna get close enough to show you the nest because it& #39;ll freak her out.

Ummmmmm apparently my belief that female bluejays are brown was incorrect. I have no idea what kind of bird this is, but will try to figure it out.
