These are beautiful birds. I can remember the first time I saw one!
They are striking and indeed memorable. It nice when a bird is able to create a memory like that isn’t it.
Wonderful portrait, Mike. Such an expressive eye it has.
Hi Eliza, yes that eye is able to communicate so much about what the bird might have been thinking. At least it feels that way.
Giving you the eye 👁
Indeed a bit of the eye. A gentle I know you guys are watching this time.
Stunning combination of color and texture. This one looks so demure; when I see them they’re usually making either noise or trouble. Wonderful to be reminded just how pretty they are.
HI Andrea, yes Stellars Jays do tend have strong personalities and usually of the forceful nature for sure. We were happy to just hang out with this one for a bit and have a quiet interaction. They are indeed stunning lookers.
Stunning bird.
Yes they re quite beautiful and it’s nice to have them hanging around the forest. Hope your weekend is going great.
Good weekend so far, hope yours is going well too 😊
Love this one. Mike – a very familiar companion, and you captured it wonderfully.
Hi Adam, they do like to keep one company on forest walk and it’s easy to have a conversation with them although at times it can be one sided with the Jay doing most of the talking. Hope your having a fine weekend.
