SHOT FROM THE FILE
Steller’s Jay – The Blue Bandit
The Blue Bandit While this Steller’s Jay looks like ‘the cat that ate the canary’, the timeless phrase is almost correctly applied here. That bulging crop is filled with peanuts from the seed tray … and the blue bandit scores! ~ Anecdote and Steller’s Jay capture, The Blue Bandit © Jerry L. Ferrara

American Red Squirrel – Perri Through The Canopy
Perri Through The Canopy An American Red Squirrel gives a quick pause while it diligently hastens the forest’s dense mid-canopy. The perky rodent is a common component of North America’s coniferous woodlands. The species was also the central subject of a Disney motion picture titled “Perri”, an adaptation of a story written by Austrian author Felix Salten. ~ American Red Squirrel capture, Perri Through The Canopy © Jerry L.

Great Blue Heron and Eastern Kingbird – A Tyrant
A Tyrant A Great Blue Heron makes haste away from an Eastern Kingbird’s territory. The highly aggressive mini-dynamo earns its position well as a ‘tyrant flycatcher’! ~ Anecdote and Great Blue Heron/Eastern Kingbird capture, A Tyrant © Jerry L. Ferrara
