My Radiant Friend

Especially for @yorkshirekiwi. This one of my favorite Birds to photograph, a Northern Blue Jay. Often called "bully birds" because they chase other birds away from feeders, I have seen an enchanting and irresistible side to them. Ater MANY years of observing them I have seen very distinct personalities, and a very endearing side to them (no matter what is written about them!!)

I agree. I love watching them.

Marvelous detail and I’d say the same re our stellar jays

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful capture!!

[Babs]

He is beautiful. Some birds do get quite a reputation don't they but they are such characters

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Milanie]

Wonderful close-up - think the jay is one of the prettiest birds. Your feather details are great

[Pyrrhula]

I think that each animal has its own personality, like humans @glimpses

[Leslie Manna]

@vesna0210 I agree! We need only to slow down and observe and appreciate them. Then we can see their true nature, and how WONDROUS they all are.
All my best,
Leslie
