The Steller’s Jay is a gorgeous bird, and the emblematic bird of British Columbia. He can be a nuisance though, to campers, and those who put out bird feeders. Some people think he is too aggressive. I love his feisty nature, cacophonous call, and mostly his wonderful colours.

I was out on my deck tonight playing with the chickadees (again) when this beautiful blue jay landed on my deck railing no more than 4-5 feet away from me. They are normally quite timid but this one seems to be getting accustomed to my presence. This is the first time I was lucky enough to get a half decent shot and this was the ONLY chance I had on this night! Photo taken in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada Canon Rebel XTi | Manual Mode, f/4.0 @ 97mm / Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS Photoshop Edits: removed a few background distractions (thankfully there weren’t many). I also changed the deck rail color tone to blue and faded it out at opposite ends to soften it. / / / Bird Gallery / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST

First Place in the Bluebirds of Happiness Challenge – 12 Great Features – Challenge Themes Only Group – Thank You Hosts and Members / 1379 views as at 05/11/09 / These are such pretty birds, and so inquisitive! This one was following me around! Taken in Forest Park, St Louis Missouri. / / The Blue Jay is a native of North America and is adaptable, aggressive and omnivorous. There is 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, brushlike. 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; males are slightly larger. As with other blue-hued birds, the Blue Jay’s coloration is not derived by pigments, but is the result of light refraction due to the internal structure of the feathers; if a blue feather is crushed, the blue disappears as the structure is destroyed. Blue Jays have strong black bills used for cracking nuts, and acorns and for eating corn, grains and seeds, although they also eat insects such as beetles, grasshoppers, and caterpillars.

Blue
by Jan LandersI was blessed to watch these two beautiful Stellar’s Jays come together for a few seconds, one giving the other a bite of food, then they flew off into the day. The intense blue of their feathers was breathtaking to see up close, as they are generally very elusive and one only catches a glimpse of that blue… Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Blue

FEATURED in the “OUT OF THE BLUE” GROUP / FEATURED in ‘ANIMAL FANTASY COMPOSITES” STELLER’S JAY / Recognition: / One of the most striking features of British Columbia’s official bird, is its crest and vibrant blue and black color. The Steller’s Jay SHAACK! SHAACK! cry is a familiar sound to visitors of British Columbia’s provincial and national parks. / However this great mimic can fool the most avid birder with its mixed bag of voices that includes everything from hawk calls to warblings of other song birds. Haunts: / The Steller’s Jay is found throughout British Columbia’s dense coniferous forests During the summer months it seems especially bold and is often seen around picnic sites and campgrounds. In winter it seeks out more promising food sources in the mixed forests and backyard gardens. Schedule: / A year around resident, however, each fall there is a distinct movement which brings considerable numbers of Steller’s Jays down to valley bottoms. Field Notes: / Steller’s Jay is named after George Wilhelm Steller, a German naturalist who made exploratory voyage in the north Pacific in the early 1700s. However if the Steller’s Jay had been named for its behavior it could have easily been called the “Investment Bird”, because of it habit of taking food and storing it elsewhere for future use. And like any good investor it doesn’t put all its “cash” into one area. These perky jays certainly provide us a great deal of pleasure in observing their antics and listening to their bright chatter.

Parrots, also known as psittacines are birds of the roughly 372 species found in most warm and tropical regions. The order is subdivded in three families: the Psittacidae (true parrots), the Cacatuidae (cockatoos) and the Nestoridae. Parrots have a pan-tropical distribution with several species inhabiting the temperate Southern Hemisphere as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is found in South America and Australasia. Parrots, along with crows, jays and magpies, are some of the most intelligent birds, and their ability to imitate human voices enhances their popularity as pets. Trapping of wild parrots for the pet trade, as well as other hunting, habitat loss and competition from invasive species, have diminished wild populations, and more parrots are threatened with extinction than any other group of birds. “Parrot Portrait ….... ” was featured in I Love Birds

The Steller’s Jay is named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller who discovered them in 1741. It is the provincial bird of British Columbia and primarily lives in coniferous forests, although can be found in many forested areas and is also common in residential and agricultural areas with nearby forests. / Their range is primarily west of the Rocky Mountains, reaching as far south as Central America and as far north as Alaska. / The Steller’s Jay is closely related to the Blue Jay found in the rest of the continent, but has a black head and upper body. It is also known as the Long-crested Jay, the Mountain Jay, and the Pine Jay and is the only crested jay west of the Rocky Mountains. / This pair were playfully pecking each other whilst I photographed them in north Nanaimo, BC, Canada.
