“This is a photo of The Dude and his girlfriend, Ginger. Ginger has been in the box for a week or more as The Dude has given her his home, as he stands guard in the top of the pine tree during their days. I have seen him in the box with her on only a couple of occasions. One time when we had a cold night that dropped down to 28°. And then a few days ago when the marauding Blue Jays came in hard and fast, out numbering The Dude. He quickly hopped on down to the box and jumped in with his lady. He makes sure she is safe from the neighborhood thugs. Love these two.” Jeremy Zvitt

      Aww, I love my jays! Mine keep the little sparrows from getting too cocky and the bigger crows and hawks from beating up the little ones. They’re my little backyard enforcers.
