Mr. Jay Jay

About the Book

This is a true story of the seven months I spent with a fledgling blue jay that fell into my life. As human parents the children and I provided him with food and love. In return we were rewarded with the jay's devotion as well as his incredible feats. His final choice was the outside world.

Included in the book are 18 photographs that document some of the jay's antics. The cover photograph was taken after his extraordinary flight to another town.
