A natural photo of a Jay sitting in my Mimosa tree on an unexpected wintry day in March 2008. Taken 3/22/08, Clarks Valley, Pennsylvania
.
The Blue Jay is a large light blue and white bird with a black necklace. The crest moves up and down at will. Non to partial migrator – will move to find food. Frequent visitor at bird feeders, eating seeds, insects, fruit, and nuts. Highly intelligent bird that will scream like a hawk to scatter birds at a feeder.

Oh my goodness Lori, this one is wonderful. You managed to capture this one really well!
ldeiter78 replied

Thanks Barbara. I had this photo for a long time and never thought it was that good because it wasn’t “clear” because of the snowy conditions, but it does have a softer look.
