California Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica)

            I just noticed this afternoon that I have a pair building a nest in cork oak that was used last spring.  Unfortunately the tree prevents any and all photo opportunities.  The kind that birds magically disappear into and teleport back out a few moments later.   Bad for photography, ideal for nest security.
