Tortilla Trees

Earlier this week I was sitting in the back yard and saw a scrub jay flying up to the top of a nearby utility pole with a whole tortilla chip.

He sat up there and pecked at the chip until it broke into several pieces. He flew back down to my yard and set about scratching a little spot in the mulch under the orchid tree and covered up his piece of tortilla.

He flew back to his pole and repeated this, until he’d secreted away three pieces of his tortilla chip.

I went over to where he’d been doing this and could find no trace of his chips. I’ll keep an eye on the spot, lest we get those pesky tortilla trees sprouting up. Once they get established, watch out, you’ve got a yard full of them.

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.
