Fly Away Blue Jay!

<h3>    Back in April of this year, I was alerted to something amiss in our backyard by our dog Pepper barking her head off about something! We found this sad, wet blue jay(juvenile) in our dog’s plastic pool. My husband scooped it out of the pool and I laid it on a towel and put it under an oak tree, in our side yard, where perhaps it’s parents would tend to it.  We’ve seen lots of adults and baby blue jays out and about this past spring near this tree.

The poor little blue jay was exhausted from landing in the pool and and getting wet. It just lay there and slept on the towel for awhile!


 Over a time period of about 4 hours, I kept checking on it. Once I thought it was dry and placed it on the ground without the towel. I even tried to feed it some pieces of an earthworm.

   Eventually it dried out and started hopping around and flying short distances but still not taking off. I checked back 30 min later and it had flown away. </h3>😊
