Just stellar - or Rhapsody in Blue II
Both scrub and Stellar's jays are common here, but both are difficult to photograph because they are so flighty. This morning while folding clothes I noticed a Stellar's jay busily eating (bugs? wilted flowers? baby cherries setting on?) in the cherry tree outside our bedroom window (see here, first photo), so I grabbed my camera and snuck up to the glass to see if I could "capture" him. Success!

My stellars have to be some of the healthiest, with the shiniest feathers.....seeing as they eat alot of my high dollar dogfood that is out in the kennels during the day (with Kylie and Finn). I still really like them though....:)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking birds we done have them over here :-(
ReplyDeleteWizz :-)
This time of year we have literally hundreds of species of finches flying through here! They never used to come through here but have been since St. Helens blew in 88.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'm so jealous...I wish we had those here.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteNope. No stellars here - scrub jays, you betcha. I saw a black-headed grosbeak this morning however. I also saw a small herd of mule-tail deer and shortly after that, a small herd of pronghorn antelope. It was a good morning overall.
ReplyDeleteExcellent catch. We don't have those here. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the neat Stellars photos -I've never seen one!
ReplyDeleteThe stellars are the prettiest of the jays. Too bad they make such an obnoxious noise.
