A cerulean blue Steller’s jay perches on a Douglas fir bough. The bird’s feet, legs, shoulders, neck, head, crest, beak, and eyes are ebony. The bird’s belly sides wings and tail are a deep blue. It’s like sky has come down to kiss earth. Just above the jay’s beak is a set of neon blue racing stripes going up the bird’s crest. Green fir fronds surround the jay.
I bring the peanut.
The jay brings the gaze.

High in a tree, a Steller's Jay keeps watch over the farm, ready to issue an alert call at any moment.

A blue and gray scrub jay packed its beak with mealworms from a white bowl set out for the birds. Green plants are foreground, on the right side, and behind in the photo.
Scrub jay came back for more on this #ThursJay.
It packed in as many giant mealworms as its throat could manage (bulging) and then filled the beak with superworms! #birds

A distant side profile picture of a Magpie facing left while perched on a branch midway up a tall tree with bare branches that takes up the whole frame. There are other trees with bare branches and a clear blue sky in the background and bushes with green leaves and a lawn of green grass around and below the main tree.
A side profile shot of a Magpie in a tree for #ThursJay (zoom in for a closer look). #Corvids #birds #nature #trees #photography #ECK #ukbirding

When your blue-headed corvid called a Woodhouse's Scrub-jay turns around to look at you and strikes a sweet backlit pose you spaz out and release the shutter early, cropping off his feet and tail feathers. Zen.
Zen is not an art,
it’s not a religion.
It’s a realization.

A black bird perched on the stub of a branch with it's head turned to the left. The crow has a steely dark grey beak and it's feathers have a slight glossy sheen. There are a few snowflakes drifting down.
A silhouette of a crow in flight with it's wings spread wide and the outline of a stick held in it's beak, all against a dull grey sky.
A crow perched among many small branches, holds a twig in it's beak. The background is three whitish tree trunks and a myriad of smaller branches.
#Birds #Corvid #ThursJay It's April and winter isn't ready to let go yet. This crow was on the lookout for building materials. It seemed unfazed by the changeable weather, sun, then snow, then sun & snow.

A photo of a California scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica), a medium-sized songbird with a vibrant blue head, wings, and tail, gray underside, white throat, dark eyes, thin white eyebrows, black beak, and black legs. It is perched on a tree branch facing the camera with its head turned toward the left, surrounded by more grayish-brown branches in cloudy day lighting.

It is facing the camera with its head turned toward the left, looking very alert, with its lower body partially obscured by a blurry green platform feeder and wooden fence in front of it.
I hope you all see some fine and sassy birds this #Thursjay. Save the Florida scrub jay.

A Rook in side profile in the sunshine. The bird is side on; looking to the right on a grassy verge with a path in front of it. The sunshine is bright and its wing is shining metallic, a blue iridescence can be seen on its neck feathers.
A Eurasian Jay perched on a beech tree. The bird is in side profile, turned slightly away from camera with its head turned back to look. The bird did on a branch coming off the trunk of the beech with some smaller, bare, beech branches in the foreground. The background is out of focus greens
A Jackdaw perched on a gnarled old branch against a blue sky. The bird is facing camera with its head turned to the right of frame and its eye looking at the camera. Some patches of white feathers can be seen on its front. The branch it is on is old and covered in lichen. It comes up vertically and then twists around into a horizontal perch.
🪶 It’s time for another #Thursjay,
- a Rook in side profile in the sun
- a Jay in a beech tree
- a slightly leucistic Jackdaw against a blue sky
