September 30 Belthar. Several Blue Jays around the certain day carrying acorns
from a Red Oak off on the side to the woods. They found
the acorns in their bills & flattered their wings violently to
break them off. The acorns were half grown within the cups
carried them. I think each Jay carried two acorns at each
trip one in its mouth or throat, the other bird in the
tip of the bill.
