[Leica] IMG: Blue Jay Determination

[Gerry Walden]

On my first trip to the USA I stayed at a lovely guest house in Newport RI and next morning I looked out of the bedroom window and there was a flock of blue jays on the lawn. They were beautiful and you bought back happy memories - thank you!

I have adjusted the springs on the trough cover so that it closes under the full weight of birds as large as a Blue Jay.  This guy has learned that, if he carries a part of his weight with his wings, the trough stays open.  He can be seen making repeated trips, fluttering to access the trough, and flying away with a mouth full of seeds.
