365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Scrubby Is Back!
Day 234: Oh, Scrubby is back! He showed up for dinner late, and with the feeders momentarily empty, resigned himself to picking seed fragments off the ground. He's very shy, and when he noticed me standing at the window with the camera, he flew off. I took advantage of the moment to put out more seed. California Scrub-jays are relatively new to our local area, although I used to see them while I was bicycling through the prairies south and east of Olympia, a good thousand feet below my present elevation. I've only seen them here in the last four or five years. They are as large or slightly larger than our Steller's Jays, and somewhat bulkier overall. A very handsome bird, to my way of thinking, and in any event, all Corvids are welcome here.
