Two days ago I removed my hummingbird feeder and put up the first of my winter seed feeders (more to be added later). This morning I was impressed beyond all measure to see that a blue jay with a broken and severely malpositioned R leg has returned for the FOURTH year in a row. The leg sticks out at an awkward angle, making perching on slender branches or feeder perches very awkward, necessitating much wing flapping and burning of energy to stay in place. It is somewhat smaller than the others, but appears otherwise as feisty and lively as ever. Is this unusual, for such - or any birds? And is the average lifespan known for blue jays?
