On Sunday we had an untraumitized dead fledgling blue jay in the back
yard. The next day we had, what I assume to be the sibiling that sat in
a rose bush for 18 hours. In the mourning two adults came and find him.
That day he hung around ( so little that he couldn't fly ) and when we
returned from work he was in a vulnerable spot so we placed him,( for
safety sake as suggested by L Erickson ) ) on the lowest branch of a
cherry tree. I checked on him at 10:00 p.m. and he was sleeping. The
next mourning I found him at the base of the tree dead. Thoughts about
this-- a nest somewhere that was disrupted and they fledged to early,
inattenitive parents, life is hard, this is the way of the Jay. It was a
sad day when we lost our little buddy.
