Recuperation journey: Waiting for eggshells

Another morning, another blue jay. With five of them around the yard lately it is getting easy to capture a photo. 
I just realized it's the same pose as yesterday...maybe it's the same bird. 

They must have gotten the eggshells I threw out yesterday because there are footprints and holes in the snow.

Hmm ... maybe I will have an egg for breakfast. I should feed my newfound friends.
