wood ducks are quite common around here, and are legal game birds. I got one this year. male Pintails in breeding plumage are in my opinion are the most handsome duck, they look like theyre wearing suits. Dont see too many of them around here though.

Another bird death story.
One time me and a few friends were having some beers in this kids back yard and shooting at squirrels with a pellet gun. Not that we wanted to hurt/kill any of em, we were mostly just shooting near them and watchin em freak out and take off. We were drunk and it was all very funny. Anyhow a pigeon (bird-rat) landed on his fence and this kid Brandon picks up the gun and shoots it straight in the eye. We were like 30 yards away and this kid hits it so perfectly (with a pump powered little 12 year old's rifle thing) that there was no entry wound, save his eye socket. Needless to say the bird was dead on impact and just fell off the fence. No fluttering wings, no attempt to fly off, just dropped like a feathery rock.
The moral of the story? Beer + Guns (even air powered pellet guns) = Death

Today i'm doing Jays which are actually members of the crow family!
Bright and bold, blue jays often travel in noisy family groups in late summer and fall. Their arrival at a bird feeder tends to clear the area of smaller birds. Blue jays are known to eat the eggs and young of other birds and often frighten the adults off the nest by imitating the call of a hawk.
I absolutely love these birds because they are cute as all fucking hell. They are bigger, with a white head and chubby cheeks. They hang out in mountain regions (I spotted tons at a bird feeder in the mountains in Idaho)
Stellar Jay
This bright, colorful noisy and gregarious bird Cool fact: Steller’s Jay has the most extensive range of any North American jay, from Alaska along the coast to central California, and through the Rocky Mountains and high mountain areas of Central America to Nicaragua.
Pinion Jay
Where to find:The pinyon jay can be found from central Oregon and Montana south to central Arizona, New Mexico, and northwestern Oklahoma. Pinyon jays do not migrate. Find em in the pinion pine, juniper trees, joshua trees, furs, redwoods, spruces, etc.

Decided to take a pic of this little guy this morning. He was singing when i woke up, or chirping rather. A common yellowthroat (juvenile). Member of the warbler family, nice little birds, Ill probobly band hundreds of these guys (warblers in general, not just the COYE) next week.
Anyway, If this is a male he'll grow up to look somthing like this:
ID: Small and dumpy, short neck, small bill, round wings, rounded tail. Always shows contrast between dark malar and pale throat.
