Blue Jay popped into our yard today, and foraged around for some seeds, and picked at the dog’s bones. He then popped up on a log, and started to chat.
He said that the signs are all pointing to an early winter, and that the food would be scarce for the birds and animals this winter.
I asked him how he knew.
He says that the birds and the animals can feel the weather and how it is shifting. He said to watch some of the birds like the Artic Tern and the Robins. They are heading south already, and that is early for them.
The squirrels, he says, are madly stashing food. He says that the Blue Jays try to keep an eye on where they put the food because they can raid it if they get too hungry.
Blue Jay went on to say that the weather would fluctuate drastically, and that there would be extreme cold and snow, and then warm weather would hit. This will cause melting and freezing that will make getting food on the ground very difficult because there will be a coat of ice.
Blue Jay asked me what we were going to do to prepare for the winter. I said that we would harvest our garden, and get some farmer market veggies to store, and that we would get our snow blower checked over. We also got our first load of wood, and hoped to get another load before the end of September.
Blue Jay said that we were doing well, and flew away.
