In two previous entries for the Backyard Life I made mistakes. The two incorrect entries were in Born Interloper and “Grandmother.” We subsequently learned that the bird in the Born Interloper entry was not a Blue jay but rather a Tufted Titmouse. I was informed that this bird is often confused with the Blue jay, but the difference is that this bird is almost all gray and has large black eyes and a black beak. In the case of “Grandmother” where the bird looks rather tattered, the truth is the bird is a young bird about two weeks old still developing its plumage. Were these ever surprises and my apology for stating incorrect information, but this is progress —
