Peanut Drop Drama
In the soft light of early morning, the crisp air brims with quiet anticipation. A blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) perches on the edge of a weathered wooden bird feeder, its vibrant plumage—a striking blend of blue, black, and white—standing out against the pale sky. Clutching a prized peanut, hard-won from the feeder, the bird seems momentarily triumphant. But in an instant of distraction—perhaps caught off guard by the presence of a watchful photographer—the peanut slips from its beak, tumbling toward the ground below. Oops.
