Saturday Snapshot: The Opportunist


To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky at Alyce's excellent blog, At Home with Books. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.

This week I thought I'd share a photo of one of my favorite birds, the Stellar's Jay, which lives up in the Ponderosa pine forests of Arizona's White Mountains. Like all jays, these birds with the comic book eyebrows are world class opportunists. This guy saw a peanut and sunflower seed buffet that Denis and I had set out for the ground squirrels, and it flew in for its share!
