And I didn't even have peanuts....
Not much to show you in my garden right now as we in zone 5/6 Toronto are heading into a long and dreary winter. As a reminder, we got a taste of snow yesterday with some intense but short-lived flurries.
I was out of the house but my wife and kids had these two visitors: Blue Jays or Cyanocitta cristata. I'm not a birder so I can't tell you a whole lot about this noisy pair that chilled out on the Wayfaring tree (Viburnum lantana) in the back, other than their human namesakes comprise our city's perennially (well, since 1993) sub-par baseball team.
They make a pretty pair, don't they?
