Birb Update. Scrub-Jay now appears at our door like clockwork, morning and night. He calls and calls until T’Chat comes to the door. He and T’Chat then have lengthy conversations about the state of the world.

California scrub jay sits at sliding glass door of a porch, with its head very close to the window, looking inside the house. “Where is my friend the cat?”

Calico cat sits on a mat by screened door looking at the camera, as a scrub jay perches a foot away from her on a mat just outside. They’ve just finished a long conversation.
