perched on a high tree a blue jay lookout screeches ~ swift bristling of crests [when blue jays feed in peace, their crests are lowered, but become raised when danger is sensed.] https://www.howmanysyllables.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Bird Haiku Poetry Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin Placed 3rd © 16th March 2022

Honesty compels me to tell you I do not like bluejays. I've lived with their presence and screeching from boyhood onwards. The are the hogs of birddom and are very aggressive. Even squirrels avoid them, especially when at bird feeders. Pleasure to hear from you. / Maurice

A nice one, I guess the bristling is common with all birds, even the hens in our home do this:)
