Photo of the day
Dana captured this beautiful photos of a baby blue jay on a walk yesterday in Wallaceburg. It’s also Dana’s birthday today, make sure to wish her happy birthday! Here is what Dana had to say about the baby bird:
“While walking Millie we passed a baby blue jay on a fence, I later drove by and it was still there so I went home to get a box thinking it had lost its mother, maybe I would bring it to a rescue. When I got close to it, it hopped a little. I was in awe that I was this close to a blue jay and just took it in for a moment then took this picture . I slowly brought the box up beside it, and it flew! Not far, but enough to give me faith that this little guy could make it in his own.”
