I smiled as I stepped outside.
"Perfect," I murmured. The sky was clear and it was warm, perfect conditions for some good bird watching.
I found a bench and sat down, my binoculars clenched tightly in my hands. My head was facing upwards towards the sky, my eyes seeking out the flying critters.
"Oh!" I gasped as one landed right in front of me.
I grinned; a blue jay.
"Jason!" Nate called from inside. "It's almost time for the Final Jam and Shane's still grumpy!"
I scurried inside, but not before taking one last look at my little blue jay.
