July 8 - Screaming Blue jaws


This day, I heard such incredible bird screaming from Blue Jays that I had to go out and try to figure out what was going on. Turns out they were juveniles (two to three) but I never saw what they were screaming at. One was on the telephone line in my yard and one was in my neighbor's yard (the one the owls were nesting in). I looked for the owls but found none. I still see the Blue Jays at my feeder and in my bird bath occasionally.

Later that evening, as the sun was setting, Virginia and I, looked up to see hundreds of cliff or barn swallows (I think cliff) were overheads swallowing up tons of insects. This lasted a few weeks at least.
