Steller's jay (Cyanocitta stelleri)

I love their colours . . .

I’d love to see the sunshine hit that blue plumage..I’ll bet it certainly looks beautiful!

What a gorgeous bird! We have regular Magpie visitors. One sits and squawks on our birch tree if the mid morning snack is late arriving. I love their varied vocabulary. Such clever birds and clever family.

He reminds me of the Australian magpies, though they're not beautiful, they're loud, bossy and aggressive, but such cheeky chaps too..
