Hei folks! - -

Charlie has asked me to mind the store while he and his wife wing their way south for the next few weeks. When you consider all the pictures I have taken for the Pasty Cam (about ZERO to be exact), you know I'll be counting on the old Guest Gallery for your daily glimpses. Ethel Moyle does the honors today, with a shot of her breakfast buddy, at their place in the country (Copper Country that is).

I see by her email address Ethel is a Pasty.NET member (way to go grampy@pasty.com!). And Ethel's not a first-time Cammie, either, as she gave an eyeball witness report of the Moyle Reunion last summer. Now we know where they got the blue!

Interesting picture. My first time on here.
I will make sure to check it out in days to come!

Where is this picture located?

"Yoose guys" make me soooo lonely for the UP. I grew up there (Nisula) and when I look at these pictures during winter, the longing is even greater. Would love to retire up there, but hubby says "No Way". Little does he know, hey?

Yes, Toivo, we do have a saying on the farm...about "Moyle Blue"...Gramdma always wore blue...royal, navy, light, baby, sky..any shade of blue..would do. See 'y'all' this summer, by the Big BLUE Lake! :)

Thanks Toivo, Being a Newbie on the digital I didn't know if this would be good enough. It offers encouragement to keep learning.

Ethel,

You captured the very moment when he took flight, which required a quick and steady hand. The snow on the pines in the distance give a real sense of perspective. Excellent work.

You are a true blue Pasty Cammy.

Fran... If you get snow, I am NOT going to be happy! (Go get her, Pegg!)

Charlie! PLEASE let this be available on Windows Media Player!

Oh Patti, you must mean the MONSTER POND!!! God,s Country for sure..

Thanks RD, In Iowa!

Hi Auntie Ethel and Uncle Don.

Very nice picture! I hope you all are surviving the snow and cold.

Take Care,

Darin, Melissa, Miranda, Aili

I am going to try this one more time because i am completely new at the internet
I feed my jays (plural) because they show up as pairs in an area just 3/4 miles north of detroit in warren.
they eat at my "peanut" station all year

can anyone tell me how to differentiate male from female in ble jays?

BreaksSR@aol.com:
Check out the link below, it has info on Blue Jays, and says it's hard to tell the difference except during breeding season.
Blue Jay info

who exactly sent me the article on blue jays?

I am totaly blown away with this much info!

I am / and always will be a "closet birder", in that I never have gone "in the field" , but am truly liking to watch and follow and feed my birds.

thanks again to whomever sent the info on the blue jays
