Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..
A pair of Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stellari) babies flew out of their nest that was in our yard, so I ran and got the camera to get a few shots of one of my favorite birds. I just love the tiny crest that has already started to form..Reno, Nevada
The Steller's Jay is a striking bird with deep blue and black plumage and a long, shaggy crest. The front of its body is black, and the rear is deep blue. The black extends midway down its back and down its breast. It has faint, dark barring on its wings. Adults have blue vertical 'eyebrows' above each eye. The juvenile appears similar to the adult, but has a slightly browner head and lacks the blue eyebrows of the adult. The inland form has a small white patch over the eye.
An excellent mimic with a large repertoire, the Stellers Jay can imitate birds, squirrels, cats, dogs, chickens, and some mechanical objects.The oldest recorded Stellers Jay was 16 years 1 month old.
