Default Re: the crossfire and the blue jay

just came back from my son's. i spent about 2 hours doing things to our cars. he lives at about 5 kilometers ( 3 miles) from my place in straight line seeing at the map, but there are some turns and 5 traffic lights. anyway, when arrived at my place, i opened the hatch and began unloading some things, when suddenly heard a chirping very close. on the top of my car at the left side and at reach of my hand, there was a blue jay jumping and chirping and looking at me. he seemed to be asking for something but i didnt understand what it could be. at the moment, as i was totally surprised, i just couldnt think of the extravagance of the situation: a bird at hand reach asking me for something. as silly as this can be, the only thing that occurred to me was that it was the same that was asking me for something for his nest a few days ago, and told him that i was going to get some pieces of paper and began looking for it, but couldnt find any at the side where i was and moved to the other side, and he jumped to the other side and kept jumping and chirping. as couldnt find any i told him to wait and moved to the front of the car looking for it but in the meantime he flew away. i regret to tell that i didnt provide what he was asking, but this am not used to deal with birds. especially with this kind of situation. the difference between the 1st time and now is that then, he was asking silently for help, and now he was demanding noisily for something.
now that am thinking clearly, i wonder: was it the same? but how could he find me? by chance he was flying around and saw me? or was he following me through all the traffic, turns, stops...
could be, even if is impossible to believe it. also i dont expect any1 to believe this, but this is what it was. and now that he knows where i live, would he come back some day to visit me? or will go to my son's, where i go frequently? what's next?
