Steller's Jays - 7 for sure; perhaps 8 (could have counted 1 of them twice) in front yard @ nut feeder
The above might not seem like a big deal but . . . . you had to be there.
The activity was all-consuming, i.e.,
one of the Steller's, almond in beak, fed another; I've not witnessed such behavior in the past. (from :Steller's that is)
all were flitting from branch to branch, barely landing and then taking-off again; so fast!
Squawking; chirping; chrrrrr-ing; clucking; gutter-al sounds; chipping likened to the sound of a pine squirrel; just lots of communication taking place at once.
Are they pairing-up for the breeding season? Or is all of the above same-o-same-o for Jays?
It matters not; I totally enjoy their presence always.
