Great looking series Hide... ...that's quite a different looking Blue Jay compared to the ones we have here in Kentucky....
Thanks for looking Jim. As for the bird ID,it's actually a Western Scrub Jay.
I don't know why but I always call it a Blue Jay.

Very nice work Hide... we have Scrub Jays at our backyard feeders all the time, they love peanuts in the shell.
These are all lovely and very well presented Hide.
Kirk
Thanks for your kind comments,Kirk. I heard that Scrub Jays shake peanuts to find if it's full of peanuts or not and that they pick the one fully loaded with peanuts.
Smart bird.

Hide,
what a beautiful set. You do have some stunners here.
Why is it that most So Californians all call the Scrub Jay a Blue Jay I know that's what I was taught from the beginning & only when I got my first bird book did I find out that this is the wrong name for the bird.....
Love all the shots - but # 3 & 4 are my favorites.
Lil
Thank you for your kind words,Lil. I totally agree with you about this bird ID.
I know this is not a Blue Jay but I always tend to call it a Blue Jay. When I first saw this bird, I even didn't know what it was and I called it a Blue bird and I posted their images here. Soon,someone here corrected the bird ID for me.
