Blue bird with white neck and chest, pale grey belly, blue wings, head, most of back. It's standing on a green T-post, with red twig dogwood branches all in the background.

Scrub jays are around every day in the garden.
Intelligent and curious little things, and more civilized than the Steller's jays, imho, another of the ubiquitous bird neighbors.

Tiny white flowers in a cluster with greenery surrounding.

Red Twig Dogwood blooming on this cold, misty day.
Cornus sericea. 🌱
With its spring flowers, hedge-like green in summer, reddish-purple leaves in fall, and, of course, vibrant red branches all winter, it's lovely all year. Takes up more room than expected!
