Paul Callus Poet Haiku

Notes About The Poem

@ The Spruce

Blue Jay

perched on a high tree
a blue jay lookout screeches ~
swift bristling of crests


[when blue jays feed in peace, their crests are lowered, but
become raised when danger is sensed.]

Maurice Rigoler October 5, 2022 at 7:57 AM Honesty compels me to tell you I do not like bluejays. I've lived with their presence and screeching from boyhood onwards. The are the hogs of birddom and are very aggressive. Even squirrels avoid them, especially when at bird feeders. Pleasure to hear from you. / Maurice
