Stellar Blue Jay Showing Off in the Blue Sky

We had one sunny day!!! I couldn't believe it and I suspect the blue jays couldn't either. I enjoyed every minute of it that I could capture. Today it is pouring and windy once again.

Looks like a Steller's Jay to me

[Jane Pittenger]

@kerristephens yes, that is what it is

[Lara Zinn]

I love this type of composition branches with a colorful background... but this fabulous colorful bird with this feathery head is just amazing!!! very good capture!

[MamaBec]

Those mean Sellar Jays - the are mean to the other birds - I think of them as pretty crows. But you captured it well.

[Jane Pittenger]

@mamabec I agree re them being mean to other birds. They also slurp up the food in a second. But they are pretty stunning!

[Alison Tomlin]

Wonderful composition. Love his plumage

[Danielle Greenwood]

wow he is so pretty!

[Sharon]

Fabulous!!!

[Elizabeth Porter]

Striking blue jay, he looks different than the ones we have here in this part of Virginia. Nice capture, Jane!

[Amy Spada]

Super blues and loving the lines!

[Helen]

That's such a beautiful looking bird - ours are so drab in comparison!

[Taephy]

Beautifully blue! it looks like a blue version of cardinal...:D

[Sara R]

What a cool bird! I love his "hair"! Great image, too, with all the crisscrossing branches.

I love the blue sky! Beautiful capture!

[Robyn]

nice one! Like the action of its head.
Blue sky!! Would like to see that a LITTLE more; the pouring rain is getting a bit tiresome....
