AHHHH! Thanks for sharing that Saarbrigger! Merry Xmas! I can't wait to spot a Blue Jay next summer. They were my favorite bird as a child, but I love the variety now.

Many years ago you could find a lot of them home in Germany in big groups, but here in Hungary I never saw one. Nice pics. Remember me on my childhood. :-)
