plantladylin said:The Blue Jay was laying on it's side in the leaf debris ... not sure why birds do that but I've seen it before. I did learn a number of years ago about birds flailing around in the sand (sand bath) to rid their feathers of mites etc. but I don't know why this one was in the leaves ... it appeared to be a juvenile Jay so maybe it's still learning.

Margaret has some photos (great photos) of her Stellar's Jays laying out like that. She knows what they're doing but I forgot what she said.

I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
