Jay’s Nest

The jay is probably the most brightly colored of all corvids. It waits until the trees have fully developed their foliage in spring before laying its eggs, so that the nestlings are better protected.

Once again, Fritz has taken an in-depth look at the theme of parenthood in the animal kingdom.
