Description
This blue jay was perched on a tree limb in front of our house. He looked as if he was starring and wondering what I was doing photographing him.
The Blue Jay has a pronounced crest on the head, a crown of feathers, which may be raised or lowered according to the bird's mood. When excited or aggressive, the crest may be fully raised. When frightened, the crest bristles outwards, brush like. When the bird is feeding among other jays or resting, the crest is flattened to the head.
Its plumage is lavender-blue to mid-blue in the crest, back, wings, and tail, and its face is white. The underside is off-white and the neck is collared with black which extends to the sides of the head. The wing primaries and tail are strongly barred with black, sky-blue and white. The bill, legs, and eyes are all black. Males and females are nearly identical, but the male is a little larger.
I hope you have enjoyed this photograph and will share it with others. You can see more of my work on my home page in the various galleries I have created. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
