Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Blue
And after the Red-Bellied Woodpecker flew off to do other things, the Blue Jays came back and I took some more pictures! These are beautiful birds. Rather sinister and they destroy the nests of other birds and eat their eggs. But as blue as a bird gets, Blue Jays are. Blue, I mean.

It’s a rare look at the full plumage of the bird. It’s hard to get the view because you need to be right above or behind them. They have such interesting designs in the feathers, too.

Whatever else is wrong with the Jays, they are beautiful to look at. A very elegant bird with vibrant color.

You’re right — they are beautiful.
And has someone been playing “pin the tail on the Gary?”

No. He just isn’t feeling well. And he’s a guy, so that means he is utterly miserable.

Hope he feels better soon. I think it was the camera strap probably hanging from his back pocket that made me think of the kid’s game.

All so lovely. We don’t have blue jays here, we do have stellars jays which are similar but so damn noisy, they never shut up and they squak it isn’t a pretty bird song to be honest!

These can be quite noisy — usually in season when they are looking for a mate. Otherwise, it’s just a short “caw caw.”

The birdie in the first photo you shared (of the blue jay montage), looks so cheeky! They might be mean birds, but their plumage is magnificent! Thanks for sharing!!

Blue Jays are beautiful and rather impressive, but they are nest raiders. They will try to take on most birds — except (obviously) hawks — and woodpeckers! Garry was looking at them this morning and commenting what an impressive bird it is. Our are really BIG.

Love the post.

They rule the feeders — until the woodpeckers show up and then they back off. Quickly. It’s amusing since they are rather bigger than the woodpeckers — but they don’t have that impressive weaponized beak!

Lovely colour….

They are all the blues in one big bird. They are almost as bad-tempered as the woodpeckers — but they lack the double-layered skull and that lethal lance. Someone complained that woodpeckers were ruining his house and all I could say is that is woodpeckers are pecking your house — you have termites!

that’s probably what’s going on….

Well, they don’t peck wood unless there are insects in there to eat and they really LOVE termites. So if you have woodpeckers going at your house, you have other problems, too.
