| A Steller’s Jay at Big Basin, California |
This Jay, here in the picture had come to sit by our table just outside the snack bar at Big Basin SP, hoping to get some morsels from the park visitors.
Big Basin is a Redwood State Park in California.
And Steller’s Jays and their food habits are being studied here at this State Park.

What a stunning shot … and I noticed that your little Jay is banded … part of the study, I presume. A beautiful bird, but your capture of the light is just perfect and accentuates his colors beautifully. Great capture …

Thanks a ton, Andrea. With all that blue, that was ONE pretty bird.
I believe that is part of the study. 🙂
I love your bird too. Wow! I doubt I'd have had the courage to shoot that one. Beautiful.
Wow!! I love the way the light comes through his crest!!! And his colours are simply beautiful!
That was such a beautiful Jay. I couldn't resist taking that picture.
I was lucky to catch some light there. 🙂
Beautiful shot.
Thank you, Robert. 🙂
Very beautiful, the bird is glowing in the rim light around it….
Beautiful indeed. Lucky for me it came and sat just beside our table and stayed on that railing for a really long time. 🙂
Thank you, DesiTraveler.
