Two rather wet blue jays in the snow. At first, I thought this was a mother feeding a youngster, but that didn't seem quite right as the offspring leave the nest in late spring. It turns out that blue jays mate for life and cement their relationship by offering their partners gifts, usually of food. I suspect that is what is happening here.

Blue jay on a snowy day. They like to perch on this pole for some reason.

A blue jay ( geai bleu ) waiting for peanuts in the garden. They turn up in autumn and spring and compete with the squirrels for the peanuts we put out. They are remarkably alert. I saw one fly from a tree about a hundred yards away the moment we put out the nuts. Once one bird finds the treats they call loudly to attract all the other jays in the neighbourhood. The squirrels don't have a chance- if you snooze you loose.
