47whitebuffalo, yes, they do like to bury food. Years ago I even saw one repeatedly steal and bury kibble from my dog’s dish.

The blue jays are the most splashy birds when they take a dip in the bird bath. They sure provide a great deal of entertainment.

Great close-up images! What a lucky jay–to just be stunned but not seriously injured. Lovely blues. I like jays very much. Observed them at my feeders for years. When I started putting out peanuts in the shell for them it got very interesting. Individuality manifested in how the birds dealt with these offerings. One was very very smart and hid the peanuts close by so that it could collect more of them by not taking them all the way ‘home’. They’re such fun birds.

Val, it truly is a gorgeous bird. It took about 15 minutes to fly off the ground. The rest of its family was nearby. They’re supposed to be excellent at caring for one another so I think it had a pretty good chance of a total recovery.

I’ve searched for images of the Jays in your corner of the world. They are indeed different. Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment.

Oh wow! What a beautiful bird. We have a different sort of Jay here in the UK, so it’s lovely to see a blue Jay, especially a young one. As well as beautiful plumage, it’s got a very pretty face too – lovely eyes. I hope it recovered quickly.
