Pictures in our minds - Vision of a bright, sparkling winter day. The squeaky pleasant sound of the bright blue, blue bird from the woods. A flash of blue.   Images by Ray Wegner

 

 

 

 

Gray Jay                                                      

What is this Gray Jay looking at so intently ?  We were up on a trail above Lake Louise. This trail was also being used as a horse trail, for some horse riders. 

You know what horses often do. And you know what one of the more common feeds of horses is - yes oats. 

Well this clever, enterprising Whiskey Jack was picking out undigested oat seeds from the horse manure lying on the trail.
