Birds Strutting Their Stuff

I wasn't going to mention this but, since it happened twice, I thouhgt I'd note it.

This morning, while I was checking some accounts, I looked up and saw a big bluejay (I think it was female, or maybe young, because it was more grey than blue) hop across the top of my wooden fence. What made it interesting was that it hopped, from one board to the next, for about 50 feet. I smiled to myself, and went back to my work. Just now, a mourning dove flew to the fence, and did the same thing; walking for about 15 feet. The odd thing is that the bluejay hopped, but the dove walked. Interesting. Oh, the bluejay is back; gotta go...
