This is the time of year when birds are busy harvesting and hiding food for later this winter. In this case it's a California Scrub-Jay photographed here in Dallas Retirement Village up at The Pavilion last Friday Aug 30th. I watched while the jay repeatedly flew up to a perch with an oak in its bill and then down to its cache under some shrubs. Incidentally, the California Scrub-Jay was first officially recorded in Oregon in 1880 as the Long-tailed Jay. A quick glance at the tail in the photo validates the name.
