For several years, we've been feeding scrub jays at the bird feeder Al built beyond our kitchen window. This year, a juvenile scrub jay has felt audacious enough to come right into our workshop to beg for his peanuts. He'll perch expectantly on the band saw, frames tucked in the ceiling, workbenches, or one of Al's wooden patterns, waiting until we satisfy his craving. We caught him on camera the other day, grabbing a peanut off some fluted frame molding while Al was building easel add-ons in the shop. We call him "Jim" in honor of the crow who keeps the Sycamore family company in their family workshop in the 1938 film, You Can't Take It With You.
