I have to confess, these Blue Jays were hatched in the woods behind our house 2 summers ago. At one point their parents all left, but still come through in the spring, to stay hello. These guys stayed and have never left. So they are kind of like "my Blue Jays". They aren't tame, they won't land on my hand like the chickadees, but they know when I bring out the tray with the toast and peanuts it's time to chow down, and if I'm late, they may stop and yell at the front window a bit to let me know I'm being tardy in my responsibilities. If I'm in the blind, they are still a little skittish, but not so skittish they won't come and pig out.
