When a stranger comes to town, the Green Jay quickly rounds up a posse to investigate him. Impudent but intelligent, lovely but larcenous, he is loved and loathed, welcomed and rejected. Who’s he with—the good guys or the bad guys? It depends on your point of view. If you are a law-abiding citizen whose nest has been looted, you’ll arouse the vigilantes and run him out of town. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, his wife is destroying insect pests.
