A Blue Jay Ate Out of My Hand Today

This youtube video is not me. But... I did feed a blue jay out of my hand today.



My feeders are in my back yard just outside our kitchen window. I've been trying to get black-capped chickadees to eat out of my hand. That was my intent today, but a blue jay landed on my gloved hand that was holding bird seed (with lots of sunflower seeds). He stayed on my hand for 3 minutes. I've got a new friend!
