Young scrub jay. Still has
some of that brownish-gray fledgling plumage, but already so confident high up on his perch.

I just saw my friendly #scrubJay eat two #bees right in front of me, unfortunately.
He or she grabbed a bee, banged it around on the deck for a while and then ate it. I saw her catch the second one while hanging upside down from the pine tree.
maybe the bee was in a spiderweb?

Another favorite of mine. California Scrub Jay. Good looking, intelligent, and a little noisy 😊. What's not to like? Peace! ✌️ #birds #birding #corvids #jay #scrubjay #peace
a Western Scrub-Jay is perched on the edge of a wooden bird feeder. the bird is displaying vibrant blue feathers on its head, wings, and tail, with a grey-brown back and a white underside and is facing the feeder's suet cage on the right side. The feeder is made of light-colored wood with a dark roof and a clear plastic window revealing a mix of bird seeds. the background is a soft blur of green leaves and dry, brown vegetation.

I missed last Fridays Fluff day...but damn... and while the fluff won't fix it, gonna post it anyway. At least its a distraction for a few seconds to the death, destruction and misery going on in the world right now.

An indoor tabby cat lies eye level at a window, the outside ledge of which sports peanuts for the critters. A scrub jay who has has just grabbed a peanut executes a clean lift-off, flight feathers splayed in beauty.

Scrub Jay (Spring ‘25)

An illustration of Bill the Butcher (played by Daniel Day Lewis) and Priest Vallon (played by Liam Neeson) as a scrub jay and crow facing-off. Both have their trademark weapons - a cleaver and butcher knife, and a large crucifix club.
There is a territorial war between the local crows and scrub jays, and our house seems to be the epicenter. The yard is basically an avian equivalent of the Five Corners from Gangs of New York.
(Always keeping it topical with my references)

Seriously fun to watch. California Scrub Jay. Love these guys! Peace! ✌️ #birds #birding #birdwatching #jays #corvids #scrubjay #peace ✌️
Robin-sized blue and white bird perched in the branches of a scrub oak. Florida scrub-jays live in limited territories in desert-like scrub; their habitat has been ravaged by development throughout the Florida peninsula, making them a threatened species.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay: #WinterSurvivors (birds that remain for your winter season). Alternative #corvids. In the case of the endemic Florida scrub jay, both apply. I still don't understand why it isn't our state bird.

Blue bird with white neck and chest, pale grey belly, blue wings, head, most of back. It's standing on a green T-post, with red twig dogwood branches all in the background.
Scrub jays are around every day in the garden.
Intelligent and curious little things, and more civilized than the Steller's jays, imho, another of the ubiquitous bird neighbors.

against the backdrop of a weathered wooden fence & a hummingbird feeder, a brilliant blue California scrub jay perches on a portion of a garden trellis and looks over its shoulder to see if the peanut lady has put out this morning's goodies or no.
beautiful beautiful birb!

Forcing myself to do Friday Fluff because... I need to keep myself accountable. Just so so tired of everything, especially my own body turning against me. But, gotta keep pushing...

I have only been doing my "Friday Fluff" randomly lately. Many reasons... but figured with the world on fire and no end in sight, might as well toss out some shots. From my archives, 8/30/20.
