Steller’s Jay

26 Comments

*Named after Georg Wilhelm Steller, a German naturalist, who was the first European to record them in 1741.

I know I’m pretty, but beware,

My beak is tough as nails,

If any challenger would dare,

My bet is that he fails.

 

I get first choice of all the food,

You wait there on your post,

It’s not that I am being rude,

I take the best and most.

    That intense blue is so beautiful and they are such graceful birds, too. But yes, beware the beak; it’s not to be trifled with! Wonderful capture, Anneli. 😊

    These Steller’s Jays are so pretty, but it seems we have to come to B.C. to see them. Great photo Anneli. Happy Monday. Allan
