The Blue Jay is an uncommon resident around the Lake. Indeed, while others have seen one occasionally, today’s visitor to my home was the first one I have ever seen.
A Blue Jay stops by to help itself to seeds put out for a Steller’s Jay. It was skittish.
The Blue Jay then flew to a nearby tree and sat in the afternoon sunlight.
Coming from Alberta blue jays were a common sight. To me this one looks young and a little worse for wear.
Jo, I thought it was probably a juvenile. But, I lack experience on the issue of worse for wear.
Lots of blue jays down here in the Creston Valley. They mingle quite readily with the Steller’s.
Lovely to see yours…thanks!
Hello Alistair; Yes a pair of Blue Jays does frequent the Riondel area, although I have not spotted them yet this year.
Thank you Alistair!
