Scruffy-looking Western Scrub-jay

Bruce has a house in the hills outside of La Veta.  Technically his address is in Walsenberg but he like La Veta better so that's where he tells people he lives.  We were there for the Fourth of July weekend this year.  We did a little recording but mostly we just horsed around.  Wildlife is prevelant in the area.  He's lucky that way.  I think this particular scrub-jay lives near his house.  It always seemed to be around and in fact was often seen in this exact spot in this exact tree.  Scrub-jays are common but I sure do like 'em.
