More Than We Sought

The mama Western Scrub-Jay darts in and out of her nest, one she built so low to ground that we can stand on our tiptoes and see her cerulean eggs. We discovered this nature surprise on John Muir day in California, April 21. Muir said, “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” Aphelocoma californica

  • Sadly, the nest is completely empty now. Two weeks ago, there were 5 eggs not just four...now none. Nature took its course in some way other than we hoped...
