Some really great pictures! I love blue jays, but funny enough my grandfather hated them for whatever reason at his house in the Vermont mountains. He gave us his gun, a .22 and my first experience shooting, and told us to try and kill as many as we could lol. We were like 13 or 14 and didn’t get a single one. We did get some cans though!
They can be pretty noisy, especially in the early am hours. If he liked to sleep in, I can see where they quickly become irritating!
Yeah that’s probably it lol.
Sucks you felt terrible for a while! I hate those times, it’s hard indeed. I’m glad that you are on the mend now though! Stuff really knocks you on your ass.
