This definitely caught my eye while glancing out the window! I thought at first I had a diseased bird at the bath! :eek:

Don't know about diseased, but I agree...definitely bad hair day! Gives me a little comfort though as I go to get dressed to go to the grocery store...after seeing that bad hair, mine is certainly no challenge! :lol:

:lol: @Carla & Renaldo!

Yes ladies, you were right, here are a couple of more after he/she stepped out of the bath! Felt like I should take a towel out there for it! :lol:

The second one didn't get a bath, but appeared to be on the lookout for the other one. Not sure if they were a pair, or one was a fledging, as I've never noticed a young jay before.
