Every morning a family of whisky-jacks (also known as grey jays, Canada jays, or camp robbers) haunts our house here on Exploits.

They’ve been coming around for decades and I often wonder if the current family is descended from the ones of my childhood.

In other exciting news, we “discovered” a bee’s nest in the wood shed. Not wasps, bees. Grumpy ones. We’re trying to encourage them to leave without killing them or getting hurt. It’s making for dramatic times.
