Stellar in blue...
A beautiful brilliant blue Steller's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) perched in the backyard Garry Oak tree.
The official provincial bird of British Columbia, Steller’s Jays are year-round residents in British Columbia and not normally migratory. Native to western North America, Steller’s Jays are members of the Corvid family which include crows, ravens and magpies—and are considered some of the most intelligent birds in the world.
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.
