Anyway, if there's anyone who is more of a Bird Knowledge human vs of me, a mere Bird Appreciator human, I'd love to know

How long does nest building usually take?
Are any other corvids more/less adept at nest building?

#SomethingBeautiful - In progress journal sketch for Week of January 1 2024. Aoitori the Stellar’s Jay flies off with a peanut. From a photo taken October 9, 2022. After a long hiatus I’m trying to get back to a drawing a week. #StellarJay #BlueJay #CorvidLove #Sketchaday #Journaling #WorkInProgress

Snow on my deck is still 5 feet high, still my little friends come ‘round for their treats this morning.
