We raised a Blue Jay last year. I'd include photos but my computer just went kaput and I just bought another one. It would visit for about 3-4 months still flying in the house for snacks but I think it went south. I saw our Blue Jay had a boyfriend now so hopefully they will be back here when the weather changes.
He just looks in the window. We could never really tame him. He didn't like her flying into the house and staying an hour or two while he sat outside. She brought him food and we'd leave the door open watching her fly in and out but he's a suborn sucker
The wood owl because it is a mysterious bird I hear often.
The Gänsesäger as it is a beautiful bird that is the signal winter is here, and that it is over.
But my ultimate favorite must be the mouse buzzard, because although they look clumsy and stupid, the more you observe them, it becomes clear they are neither.
I have been and am still a raptor fan. My favorite overall is the Prairie Falcon. Beautiful powerful and surgically precise. A small but still massively awesome raptor rivals the Prairie Falcon on my list. The Shrike. Greasy fast, highly maneuverable, and plumb lethal to much loathed vermin such as mice and super intelligent. They are also quite social and outgoing if you have a pair working your place and they become used to you. I've had them (usually the male) perch on the front of my tractor when I'm clearing tumbleweeds and pounce on mice shaken from the cover with zeal even making return trips for more.
Ravens! They are so intelligent! I like to watch them solving their life problems.
Yep, ravens and crows. They they weren't here, we'd be sick at best, and dead at worst.
