Blue Jay

Blue jays are beautiful birds, but very loud. They are known as the alarm of the forest, screaming at any intruders in the woods. They have scattered my birds numerous times, while I've been trying to get pics.

Thank you for the wonderful responses to yesterday's cardinal pic!!! It made my frozen fingers worth it! :0)

Ohh gorgeous! I don't see them often here anymore and it's sad! Lovely shot!

[Kim]

beautiful blue jay! Such a clear shot and those colors are so vivid..

[karenann]

The patterns of blue on his wings and tail remind me of stained glass. Gorgeous bird. You made me chuckle with "alarm of the forest!" Nothing like a big-mouthed bird to warn everything away. :)

[Brandie]

So beautiful. I think you have really found your subject until your butterflies return. Nature is definitely your master piece. =)

very nice photo

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I wonder if he's a young'un, because his head is rounded (some of the blue jays I've seen on the 365 Project have a head more like a cardinal). He's beautiful! Look at all those blues! I miss the jays around here, even though they are a bit noisy at times.

[Carolyn White]

@kchuk They can raise their crests at will. This one had its crest down. I really hope to get another pic with the crest up. :0)

[Al Perry]

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Terrific! I almost never see them now and hard to capture when I do...but I got a shot today of one leaning down and that tail! Those feathers remind me of butterfly wing patterns/colors. Gorgeous!
