Just two days ago I noticed a blue jay in my garden just perching with its beak held wide open, which I have never seen before. I watched it for 2-3 minutes through my binoculars; it looked otherwise healthy with regard to weight, feathers and movements and I did see it twice briefly close the beak to preen a feather but it then returned to holding it wide open. I have not seen it again.

Initially I thought it was just trying to cool off, but it clearly makes an attempt at peanuts and such but cannot pick them up, or at least hold onto them. I did observe it trying to drink from my small deck pond. I was wondering if anyone is aware of such an ailment. It was hanging around very close to me as if it was desperate for assistance. > > http://bernieb.smugmug.com/Other/recent-pics/916397_ynXPk/25/910361226_oXor9/Large > > http://bernieb.smugmug.com/Other/recent-pics/916397_ynXPk/25/910361023_4GJZh/Large > > Bernard Burke > blburke@ns.sympatico.ca > Dartmouth > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 9.0.829 / Virus Database: 271.1.1/2955 - Release Date: 06/22/10 03:36:00 > > --Boundary_(ID_LZvmLbG8v9NKI1iWZIxnZA) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <title></title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> <font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Interesting!<br> Just two days ago I noticed a blue jay in my garden just perching with its beak held wide open, which I have never seen before.
