Thanks Borno.
You're totally out of luck thinking that flying North would have remedied the heat wave situation you've had: here too: Heat Wave .... BIG TIME! :(
With the humidex factored in, it's been awful hot, even here this far North and East!

Thanks for the comment! :)
They used to be almost "goners" a few years back and with a lot of effrots from folks all around Eastern Canada, mainly from Southwestern Ontario and eastward, the blue birds started to make a come back.
Now here, very far Northeast in Quebec, this was very unusual, to say the least.
I am now on the lookout for the little ones to come out of the nest ... don't worry, I have a great hiding spot and will not bother/scare them ... hiding behind a large cedar bush along with pesty mosquitoes.

Thanks Mag.
This caterpillar sure brings a lot of attention! I have printed a couple of copies for a non-profit organization and was told, a few times, that it was "gooey-looking"!! Go figure! :p

I admit being a nature fanatic, especially when it comes to rare or uncommon species of the fauna.
When I showed these birds to a member of the family here, he said: "Nice Blue Jay!" :p
Thanks for the comment too!

The first pic has come out rather "faint" on this forum ... gain. However, the other two are OK.

I was lucky enough to be tipped by a friend of a friend ... of a friend about the sudden appearance of Eastern Bluebirds in our rather far-North-East region. As far as I know, that specific bird species has seldom, if ever, been spotted here. As a matter of fact, they were once considered almost extinct from some parts of eastern Canada. Granted, some of you may be lucky enough to have them in larger numbers, but, for us, this is a major event:
(( ISO = 1250, not 1000))
