“Stellar” attitude!
What a character! This stellar jay was putting on quite the show, twisting its head sideways with eyes transfixed, perched in the backyard Garry Oak tree. Just love the ruffled crest of feathers!
The official provincial bird of British Columbia, Steller’s Jays are year-round residents in British Columbia and not normally migratory.
Cool fact: Steller’s Jays exhibit intelligent behaviour and have the ability to mimic the calls of raptors such as the Red-Tailed Hawk in order to scare other birds from feeders.
