Monday Blue Jay and Cardinal Blogging



Two birds seen in Durham, NC.

Top, the well-known Blue Jay. Rarely seen here in California.

Below, the equally well-known Northern Cardinal, which I at first took to be a Scarlet Tanager, but no.

Also rarely seen in California. However, "A small introduced population exists in the Los Angeles area," according to my National Geographic guide book.
