Blue jays live in my yard year-round. They would eat the acorns from my water oak, until I had the tree removed. This blue jay was resting on the arbor in my backyard on May 13, 2014.

On that day, this blue jay's fledgling chick fell out of it's nest and couldn't fly. I got some pictures of it, and unfortunately scared it quite a lot.

At one point, he/she flew away from me, right into my breezeway, where my cat was sitting. The cat grabbed the fledgling and took it inside my house. I ran in and saved the bird, but the cat might have injured it. I tried to put it back in the tree, but it fell again. The mother blue jay complained a lot when I brought her fledgling out. I found the fledgling dead the next day.
