<DIV>A blue jay building a nest outside his window prompts John Berendt to find his camera and record the familiar, yet always fascinating sequence of events that will unfold, from eggs being laid to chicks emerging and trying to fly. Children and adults alike will be astonished at the adventurous spirit of one particularly curious young blue jay as he ventures into the world. The author of the best-selling <i>Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil</i> brings his narrative skill to this up-close and delightfully informal account of an event that recurs each spring.</DIV>
