Tender moment

Strolling out on the point. Lots of small birds pecking at seeds and grub. This dead stump was a fine source for food.
As I watched a second bluejay arrived. We've all seen male cardinals feed their mates. I've never before seen intimacy between bluejays. These were both adults, none of the juvenile feed-me-flap. It was tender sharing. I held my breath and watched in wonder.

A few seconds later they flew off together.
