A blue jay



There are very few birds at the feeder. All I have seen are occasional groups of sparrows who do not stay very long. Perhaps I will need to replace the seed I have now with all sunflower seeds or maybe it is just the time of year.

We drove out into the country the other day to a farmer friend who lives not far from the west boundary of Riding Mountain Park. While we were seated in his kitchen I saw a group of cedar waxwings feeding on berries that were in a hedge by his drive. After they left a lone blue jay also came and feasted on the berries.

On the way to and from the farm all we saw in the way of birds were an occasional raven.
