Spring Jays

While working from home on Thursday, I got to watch two young bluejays learning how to fly and hunt for food in the backyard. Pics aren't great because my zoom isn't so hot and the parents wouldn't let me get very close. Was neat to watch though, parents would drop by and give them some food and a nudge to get moving every once and a while. Pics were taken while they were at edge of the yard, but as the day went on they moved right out into the middle where I had a great view out the french doors of our basement office. At one point a squirrel chased a rabbit right past past them, and I thought there might be an animal world altercation. Luckily everyone was chill.
