Anyone who has visited my home, “Twain Haven,” has met my pet Jay, my pal, “Huckleberry.” And these welcome visitors have heard my accounts of what lengths Huckleberry will go to, to get my attention, from tapping on the window with his beak, to faking his own death. But you give a jay a subject that calls for his reserve powers, and where’s your cat? Don’t talk to me -I know too much about this thing.”Another antic my Huckleberry Jay will undertake to get my attention is to hop onto the flagstaff and wave the American flag. I know Mark Twain would believe me, for here’s what he had to say about the matter away back in 1880…“Oh, a jay is everything that a man is. But then he was a good deal disappointed about Yo Semite too.”Hear McAvoy as a guest on the Tahoe TAP Podcast here .
