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.

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.

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.
