It’s funny how birds you’ve only seen in a guide book can seem like they’re ’supposed to be’ a very different size than they actually are! I always think shore birds are going to be bigger than they actually are. The first time I saw a willet it was enchantingly small.
I heard the Jay before I saw it and honestly thought it was some kind of hawk 🤣
Then I saw this big bird and was like, “That’s a blue Jay???” I thought they were, like… Finch size or something. My cat was unimpressed, but I was jazzed about it!
