The Most Dangerous Time Of Year

Here is a picture of a geranium, as seen through my basement window, where three baby Scrub Jays have sought shelter on a warm Saturday afternoon. The nest is up above. At this stage, Scrub Jays aren't quite strong enough to fly, so they spend a few days on the ground, where they are highly, highly vulnerable. Living on the ground is a phase in the lives of all Scrub Jays, as well as many other kinds of birds. I hope I'm right that there are no cats or other predators nearby.
