Stellar Jay

I hadn't realized that stellar jays have blue on their forehead during breeding time. They are bullies but also quite beautiful.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

What a beautiful bird, and you have his beady eye spot on!

Fantastic portrait -- he's a beauty!

Our Blue Jays are huge bullies, not just during mating season. This is a wonderful portrait of your Jay, he does kind of have an angry face.

Fab shot - does this mean that the blue fades away when not breeding?

[Jane Pittenger]

Always love to see a Stellar's Jay (in a photo) as we only have the "plain" Blue Jays around here. Great capture!
