Last year I reported that a bluejay with a broken and severely 
malpositioned R leg had returned to my feeders for the fourth year in a 
row. Yesterday I was impressed beyond measure to see it back again for a 
fifth year! It is easily identified by the strikingly awkward angle of 
the broken leg, which makes landing, take-off and balancing  at the 
feeder 'saucer' a real challenge requiring much wing flapping to 
maintain balance. It also has a distinctive diagonal white slash at the 
base of its extreme R tail feather.
