Yeap, I never thought it would happen. They say when you aren't looking......... I laid eyes on Jay for the first time several weeks ago. He appeared out of no where but was pretty shy. He'd lower his head or hide when I would come around. I thought it was me. That I wasn't good enough. It didn't take long for me to realize it wasn't me, it was him. Shy beyond belief, maybe nervous, afraid. He did it to everyone. No one could coax him out of that shell. It's said he is mean and nasty. That he scares everyone else off. I had to wonder. It seemed he was always the one to remove himself from the situation.
Today was different. He let me in. He allowed me to get close without scurrying off to some hiding place. He perched himself high on the new feeder and watched as others ate. Never did he attack, push himself on them, or scare them off. Nor did he get scared off. I was able to open the window and shoot away. So handsome............... In such a short time we've become close.
Ok, what did you think I was talking about?? ::giggle::

Awwww he is beautiful. I'm glad you have a new friend. We use to have a cardinal (Big Red) that would follow me around the yard and when I would get in the car to back out of the driveway he would attach himself to the side mirror of my car, but he would never leave my yard. I use to laugh at him he loved to look at himself and would dance in the mirrors of my car. Birds are so cute.
Take care, Chrissie
He beautiful.
