  • The Slow Descent Into Anxiety-Riddled Madness

    Note: This is kinda long and not very positive. There was a Momma Blue Jay with her juveniles in my backyard the other day. I’m guessing their nest was in one of the yews nearby. Three juvies, only half blue; they could kinda fly, but not really yet (we discovered that when the dog started…
