"I lived for twenty years in the rural countryside of Ontario. I delighted in the gothic revival Victorian homes, their fences embellished with little cast iron maple leaves. The blue jay fits perfectly into that landscape. He's not concerned with heritage or national symbol. He is fluffed with the cold and probably wondering if a nearby bird feeder will have a supply of sunflower seeds." - R. Bateman
