Powell River in Photos: Steller's Jay

Steller's Jay

Steller's Jays are a close relative to the well-known Blue Jays of parts east, but we don't have the Blues

and they don't have the Steller's. To my mind, one of the best looking birds of the coast. The reference

material says they can be enticed with peanuts, but for whatever reason, they always disdain mine.
And I have tried, and tried.

This is a very nice portrait. We had a lot of jays in California - more scrubs than stellars - but I rarely see them here.

A retired life in Powell River, my home for over 40 years. Photos of people, events, scenery, birds, floral and whatever else happens to catch my eye between Saltery Bay and Lund. The photos will be a mix of current photos and those pulled from my ever growing archive, but all will be taken by myself. While Powell River is home, I do occasionally leave town, and that also will be reflected here.

Unfortunately I'm dealing with a few issues that require me to at least temporarily slow down on the photography and the blogging. The joys of getting old!

So I'll still post, but definitely a bit erratically.

And please note, all my posted photos are under copyright.
