The kiddos and I were watching the Blue Jays noisily decend upon the platform feeder in our backyard. You could hear their raucous calls from a couple yards away. They were youngsters we thought, by their messy crown feathers and not so sharp colors.

I’ll admit, I was a little annoyed by their bawdy presence, and then I checked myself. This is the seasonal shift that Blue Jays are cueing us into; they’re one of the messengers of fall.
