I had an Alfred Hitchcock moment last night when I encountered a flock of Bluejays, one of which scared the bejusus out of me. You see typically I take a nightly stroll through my Brugmansia forest looking for newly opened blooms. Last night I was gazing at a group of Brugmansia seedlings zoning in on a fresh new bloom when a creature buzzed by my head and scared the bejesus out of me. I'm used to hummingbird moths and the like buzzing me as they are attracted to my headlamp, but being buzzed by a startled bird in the darkness is something else. Once my heartbeat dropped back down to an acceptable level, I peered back into the forest and spotted a flock of Bluejays resting amongst my Angel Trumpet plants. The rest of the flock was a tad more docile than the one that buzzed me. They calmly tolerated my photo session with interest.I'm just glad I wasn't buzzed by the giant owl that serenades me every night. Had that been the case I'm not certain my heart would have recovered. :) Brugmansia Angel's Swingtime x Terri Schindler Shiavo Iochroma 'Royalty' Print Rate this article: No rating 7863 Tags:blue jayBLUEJAYBrugmansia
