I'm sure there are a lot of women who would welcome this much help from their hubbies!

We have a pair of Stellar Jays building a nest in the lilacs right outside our office window. I hope the construction goes smoothly and the project finishes on time.

It will be fun to watch our own little jays grow up and out of the nest

Junior is still there

Have been watching him/her for awhile and I don't think it is normal for them to sleep on their back. I am thinking the poor little guy has gone to Stellar's Jay heaven. Kinda sad, but Mother Nature has her own plan.

I just looked at it myself. Sure looks like that is what happened.

He got his wings a little sooner than his siblings..

The parents have been to the nest numerous times and continue to feed and clean up the poop but don't seem to be paying any attention the little guy under the stack.

Any news on the little guy?

KWBoy · « **Reply #110 on:** Jun 05, 06, 08:43:30 AM »

It looks like the little guy has passed on... Has mom or dad been coming around?

He is in a better place now no kids on pocket and dirtbikes screwing around!

The babies seemed to have doubled in size overnight. Any idea what happened to the little guy? Is he still in the nest? Boy, I sure hope not.

Wrightwood · « **Reply #112 on:** Jun 05, 06, 08:19:36 PM »

Junior was removed early this morning by one of the parents.
When I get a chance I have some video.

Ummm, not sure if that's video I'd want to watch....
