One of my two friends the fledgling blue jays.
I had some almonds in my pocket one morning in early summer when I went out into the garden. Out of curiosity, I set a few of them on a patio table and sat in a chair nearby to see if the most gregarious birds in my garden--the blue jays--would stop by for a treat.
It wasn't long before they did. And I had so much fun watching them take the almonds and hide them around the yard--stopping to eat one from time to time--that I got into the habit of taking treats out in the morning for the jays.
